- Aims to consistently outperform the benchmark, with a low tracking error
- Diversified exposure to an integrated multi-factor stock selection model
- Using proven return factors value, quality and momentum
Despite its popularity, passive investing isn’t offering investors the best available exposure to the equity markets. We argue that enhanced indexing may be an even better alternative.

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
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are systematically integrated in the highly disciplined investment process, by using the ESG scores of the 4.000 largest companies from the annual RobecoSAM Corporate Sustainability Assessment. The ESG integration aims for an average ESG score of the portfolio at least as high as the ESG score of the benchmark. This ensures that stocks with higher ESG scores are more likely to be overweighted in the portfolio, while stocks of companies that have very 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. 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 globally in emerging economies such as China, South Korea, Russia and Brazil. The investment focus is on large companies, combining a sound business model, solid growth prospects and reasonable valuation. The investment policy will be based on Robeco's well known quantitative stock selection models which have been developed by the Quantitative Strategies and Equity Departments in the last 15 years.
Risk policy
Active. The risk management system continually monitors the portfolio's divergence from the benchmark. In this way, extreme positions are avoided.

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.
