Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Index returned -0.49% (hedged in euros) this month as credit spreads widened and risk-free rates moved higher. The 10-year US Treasury yield declined 15 basis points to 2.99%, while the German 10-year yield declined 7 basis points to 0.31%. The credit spread on the Global Corporate Bond Index increased by 19 bps to 1.41%. Market weakness continued into November. Especially towards the end of the month, markets started to sell off globally. Fund outflows caused some forced selling into the market resulting in certain markets getting hit particularly hard, including the subordinated financials space. Contrary to the first part of the year, US credits are not outperforming European markets anymore. The Global Corporate Bond Index delivered a negative excess return of -1.09% versus government bonds. US corporate bonds had a small underperformance compared to European corporates, with excess returns of -1.14% and -0.97% respectively. High yield (-1.60%) underperformed while emerging market credits (-0.92%) 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') ]}}The beta position of the portfolio remained above 1. Our fundamental view on credit markets is getting more cautious. We do not see the world economy go into a recession shortly, but we do see slower growth going forward in the US and China remains weak. Combined these two economies are a large part of the global economy. The Chinese authorities are working on a new stimulus plan is what we hear, however so far nothing has come out. The Fed is also shifting its language towards a more dovish tone. The relief we saw after the G20, where the US and China agreed upon a truce on the trade war, was short-lived. At the beginning of December, the CFO of Huawei, China’s largest telecom equipment manufacturer was apprehended in Canada on US request. Certain parts of the market are becoming very attractively priced in truly adverse economic conditions.
