Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Index returned +0.20% (hedged to euros) as credit spreads tightened and rates moved up. The 10-year US Treasury yield increased 9 bps to 2.71%, while the German 10-year yield increased 3 bps to 0.18%. The credit spread on the Global Corporate Bond Index decreased 10 bps to 1.26%. Market strength continued into February as flows into emerging markets picked up. Although economic data worldwide continues to disappoint, the direction of data and rhetoric by politicians is improving. Chinese officials continue to change policies to improve money availability and stimulate economic growth. The market is also increasingly optimistic about the probability of a trade deal between the US and China. High yield markets are outperforming investment grade markets. The Global Corporate Bond Index delivered a positive excess return of +0.67% versus government bonds. US corporate bonds underperformed European corporate bonds with excess returns of +0.62% and +0.87% respectively. High yield (+1.61%) and emerging market credits (+1.00%) outperformed global investment grade markets.

Investment policy
RobecoSAM Global SDG Credits invests in a diversified portfolio of global investment grade corporate bonds. Core of the portfolio is invested in investment grade credits, complemented by best opportunities in High Yield and Emerging Markets The selection of these bonds is based on fundamental analysis. The fund aims to contribute to realizing the UN SDG goals by assessing the SDG score of all companies in the universe. The fund does not invest in companies that do not contribute to these goals. The investment philosophy is based on managing a solid diversified portfolio with a long term view. Companies that don't contribute to the realization of the SDG Goals as set by the UN are excluded from the universe. Top-down beta positioning is based on the outcome of our credit quarterly outlook meeting, which defines the current credit environment and where we are in the credit cycle. This analysis is based on a fundamental, valuation and technical perspective. Bottom-up issuer research is executed by our credit analysts, who undertake the fundamental analysis. Analyst research reports are discussed in approx. 500 credit committees per year. The portfolio managers are responsible for the portfolio construction. A proprietary developed risk management approach avoids high risk concentration in the portfolio. As the investment process is well-structured and proven over time, it contributes to repeatable performance delivery.
Risk policy
Risk management is fully embedded in the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}China’s growth engine continues to slow down, putting pressure on global economic growth. This has an impact on commodity prices and on China’s main trading partners. As a result we see PMIs in the Asian region decline, pointing towards a slowdown in the entire region. So far commodity prices are holding up well which is partly due to the better shape China’s industrial sector is in. Authorities have rationalized several industries with overcapacity. Over the past month, Chinese authorities have implemented new loosening measures. In the US federal Reserve chairman Powell announced a surprising pause in the rate hiking cycle. It was a key reason for last month’s market performance. No further rate hikes is good news for many emerging markets as they are reliant on offshore dollar liquidity. In Europe, Italy and Brexit fears have been put aside for now. Especially volatility around new Brexit news may pop-up soon as the talks continue. The reversal of monetary tightening however seems to be much more important than economic data.
