The fund aims to achieve higher risk-adjusted returns than both the broad market and generic value indices over a full business cycle by taking an efficient, well-diversified exposure to the enhanced value factor, present in stocks with a low price compared to their fundamentals.

Fund allocation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundAllocations.date,'llll') ]}}| Name | Sector | Weight |
|---|---|---|
Currency policy
Currency risk will not be hedged. Exchange-rate fluctuations will therefore directly affect the fund's share price.
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 the 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 included in the portfolio while stocks of companies that have very poor ESG scores are more likely to be divested from 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 based on International Corporate Governance Network objectives.
Investment policy
Robeco QI Global Value Equities is an actively managed fund that invests in stocks in developed and emerging countries across the world. 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 proxy proxy voting and engagement . The fund invests in stocks with a low price to fundamentals and aims to harvest the value premium by selecting the most attractive value stocks. The selection of these value stocks is carried out using a model, which ranks stocks in a variety of ways, including valuation criteria, solid earnings potential, low risk and momentum.The majority of stocks selected will be components of the Benchmark, but stocks outside the Benchmark may be selected too. The fund can deviate from the weightings of the Benchmark. The fund aims to outperform the Benchmark over the long run, whilst still controlling relative risk through the applications of limits (on countries, sectors and issuers) 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.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}The fund follows a bottom-up driven investment strategy to gain exposure to the proven value factor. Rather than using generic factor definitions, it uses Robeco's enhanced definition to avoid unrewarded risk and maximize its return potential. For example, a generic value factor may lead to investments in distressed stocks that are cheap for a reason. Our proprietary distress-risk model helps to identify these risks and avoids such companies. Furthermore, the strategy aims to prevent that exposure to the value factor results in negative exposure to other factors, like momentum, quality and low-volatility. By doing so, the strategy aims to avoid unwanted and unintended factor tilts. It is a rules-based process that tries to avoid unnecessary transaction costs by only buying stocks if the expected gains outweigh the costs of the trade.
