Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 5.87%. The objective of the Developed Markets Enhanced Indexing strategy is to consistently outperform the MSCI World Index by applying a large number of small overweight and underweight positions with respect to the index, resulting in a low tracking error. The portfolio consists of roughly 750 developed market stocks and overweights stocks with an attractive valuation, a profitable operating business, strong price momentum and positive recent revisions from analysts. By using our integrated multi-factor stock selection model, we expect the strategy to consistently outperform the benchmark. Furthermore, the fund has a lower footprint on carbon emissions compared to the benchmark.

Fund allocation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundAllocations.date,'llll') ]}}| Name | Sector | Weight |
|---|---|---|
Currency policy
The fund may use currency forwards to achieve currency exposures that are close to the benchmark.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend. The fund retains any income that is earned, and so its entire performance is reflected in its share price.
ESG Integration policy
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are systematically integrated in a highly disciplined investment process, by using ESG scores based on the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment. The ESG integration aims for a total ESG score of the portfolio higher than the index. This ensures that stocks with higher ESG scores are more likely to be overweighted in the portfolio, while stocks of companies that have poor ESG scores are more likely to be underweighted in the portfolio. With these portfolio construction rules we aim for an ESG profile of the fund that is above average compared to its peers. In addition, stocks with corporate governance issues or stocks that have major litigation or regulatory risk may be excluded from the investable universe. Moreover, the environmental footprint of the fund is improved by restricting the GHG emissions, water use and waste generation, aiming for lower levels than the index. As a result stocks with relatively low footprints have a higher probability of being selected in the portfolio compared to stocks with poor environmental footprints. Next to ESG integration, Robeco has an exclusion policy and conducts proxy voting and engagement activities.
Investment policy
Robeco QI Global Developed Enhanced Index Equities is an actively managed fund that invests in stocks of companies in developed markets. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund's objective is to achieve a better return than the index. The fund aims for a better sustainability profile compared to the Benchmark by promoting ESG (i.e. Environmental, Social and corporate Governance) characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and integrating ESG and sustainability risks in the investment process. In addition, the fund applies an exclusion list on the basis of controversial behavior, products (including controversial weapons, tobacco, palm oil and fossil fuel) and countries, next to voting and engaging. The fund aims to gain a well-diversified exposure to an integrated multi-factor stock selection model which ranks stocks on their expected future relative performance using three factors: valuation, quality and momentum. The portfolio overweights stocks with an attractive valuation, a profitable operating business, strong price momentum, and positive recent revisions from analysts. The majority of stocks selected through this approach will be components of the Benchmark, but stocks outside the Benchmark index may be selected too. The fund can deviate from the weightings of the Benchmark to a limited extend. The fund aims to outperform the Benchmark over the long run, whilst still controlling relative risk through the applications of limits (on currencies, countries and sectors) to the extent of deviation from the Benchmark. This will consequently limit the deviation of the performance relative to the Benchmark. The Benchmark is a broad market weighted index that is not consistent with the ESG characteristics promoted by the fund.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully integrated in the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.

ESG Score
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}The portfolio ESG score (and E,S and G score) is calculated by multiplying the RobecoSAM Smart ESG Score of each holding by its respective portfolio or index weight. The same methodology is applied in calculating the key ESG Criterion scores. The scores of the portfolio are provided alongside the scores of the index, highlighting the portfolio’s relative sustainability. The colors indicate the score of the portfolio, whilst the shading shows the index.
Environmental Footprint
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}The RobecoSAM footprint ownership of the portfolio expresses the total resource consumption the portfolio finances. Each company's footprint is calculated by normalizing resources consumed by the company's enterprise value. Multiplying these values by the dollar amount invested in each company yields the aggregate footprint ownership figures. The selected index's footprint (for an equivalent $ amount invested in corporates) is provided alongside. The portfolios score is shown in blue and the index in grey.
