Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on closing GAV, the fund's return was -1.99%. The objective of the Emerging Markets Enhanced Indexing strategy is to provide consistent outperformance against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by applying a large number of small overweight and underweight positions versus the index, resulting in a low tracking error. The portfolio consists of roughly 500 emerging market stocks and overweights stocks with an attractive valuation, a profitable operating business, strong price momentum and positive recent reviews 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 environmental footprint on carbon emissions compared to the benchmark.

Dividend policy
All of the fund's income is reinvested after deduction of costs and withholding tax. Within three months of the close of the financial year, participants can indicate whether they want the dividend to be reinvested or distributed.
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 based on International Corporate Governance Network objectives.
Investment policy
Robeco QI Institutional Emerging Markets Enhanced Index Equities Fund invests in shares of emerging market companies. The selection of these shares is based on a quantitative model. The fund's objective is to achieve a better return than the index.

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 strives for a well-diversified exposure towards an integrated multifactor share selection model. This model consists of proven efficiency factors, such as value, quality and momentum. The portfolio has a consideration in stocks with an attractive valuation, a profitable business model, a strong price momentum and positive current reviews of analysts.The Benchmark is a broad market weighted index that is not consistent with the ESG characteristics promoted by the Fund.
Risk policy
Active. The risk management system continually monitors the portfolio's divergence from the benchmark. In this way, extreme positions are avoided.

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.

Fiscal product treatment
The fund is established in the Netherlands. The fund is a mutual fund that is open in the sense of the Dutch Corporate-Income Tax Act 1969. The fund has the status of 'fiscal investment institution' in the sense of article 28 of the Dutch Corporate-Income Tax Act 1969 and, as such, is taxed at a corporate-income tax rate of 0%. The fund is obliged to pay out the realized current income in the form of dividend within 8 months after the end of the financial year. The fund withholds Dutch dividend tax at a rate of 15% from these dividend payments. The fund can in principle use the Dutch treaty network to partially recover any withholding tax on its income.
Fiscal treatment of investor
Investors who are not subject to (exempt from) Dutch corporate-income tax (e.g. pension funds) are not taxed on the achieved result. Dutch tax-exempt bodies may seek a full refund on the 15% dividend tax withheld on dividends (25% prior to 1 January 2007). Interest income is exempt from tax withheld at source. Investors who are subject to Dutch corporate-income tax can be taxed for the result achieved on their investment in the fund. Dutch bodies that are subject to corporate-income tax are obligated to declare interest and dividend income in their tax return. In principle, Dutch bodies that are subject to corporate-income tax may offset the 15% dividend tax withheld on dividends (25% prior to 1 January 2007) against the corporate-income tax and seek a refund of the excess amount. Investors residing outside the Netherlands are subject to their respective national tax regime applying to foreign investment funds. Shareholders who do not pay tax in the Netherlands and who are resident in countries that have a tax treaty with the Netherlands to prevent double taxation may seek a refund for part of the Dutch dividend tax from the Dutch tax authorities, depending on the treaty. As of 1 January 2007, a pension fund having its registered office in another EU member state is also entitled to a Dutch dividend-tax refund. The above is based on the current fiscal legislation and regulations in the Netherlands. We advise individual investors to consult their financial or tax adviser about the tax consequences of an investment in this fund in their specific circumstances before deciding to invest in the fund.
