The approval of the Covid-19 vaccines from BioNTech/Pfizer and shortly thereafter from Moderna, followed by an immediate rollout of vaccination programs in several countries, reassured the markets. At the same time, President-elect Biden moved swiftly to fill out much of this Cabinet. The Democrats having won in the US elections is seen as a very positive sign for global cooperation and trade, raising expectations of a normalization of trade relations between the US and the rest of the world. The strong momentum in the clean energy space continued, as the new US administration is supposed to rapidly join the global community in its efforts to decarbonize the energy sector. President-elect Biden plans to spend USD 2 trillion over the next four years on the renewal of infrastructure. A large part of this is reserved for energy efficiency needs and further electrification through renewables.

Sustainability Themed Fund |
The fund is allowed to pursue an active currency policy to generate extra returns and can engage in currency hedging transactions.
In principle the fund does not intend to distribute dividend and so both the income earned by the fund and its overall performance are reflected in its share price.
The RobecoSAM Smart Energy Equities strategy invests in companies that provide competitive and sustainable solutions to the growing need for clean, efficient, and reliable energy production and consumption. It employs systematic, bottom-up stock selection that combines proprietary Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) data and research throughout the investment process. ESG criteria for exclusions and theme-specific suitability are applied during universe construction. An in-house Sustainability Investing (SI) research team integrates financially-material sector and company-specific sustainability analysis into investment cases. A dedicated thematic equity team incorporate SI research within fundamental analysis and stock valuations. Impact assessments of controversial incidences affecting portfolio holdings provide additional risk management. An active ownership and engagement team interacts directly with company management of fund holdings, offering additional channels for sustainable impact.
Our investment philosophy is grounded in the core belief that the integration of ESG factors into a disciplined, research-driven investment process leads to better-informed investment decisions and better risk-adjusted returns through an economic cycle.
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
The worldwide rollout of Covid-19 vaccination programs gives support to the markets. We expect the positive momentum to continue for the time being, also as monetary support remains high. Meanwhile, we would still caution that the economic consequences of the virus spread are severe, with a more sustained economic recovery likely one to two quarters out. We remain constructive on the mid-term to long-term perspectives of the equity markets, and make use of the current market conditions to further solidify our positions in companies that have very strong long-term business perspectives. The strategy's focus continues to be on smart grid suppliers, semiconductor power management and battery companies, notably for (electric) automotive applications, firms that improve the data centers' power efficiency and companies that provide automation equipment / services for industrial and residential markets.
