Currency policy
Currency risks are not hedged.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend. The fund retains any income that is earned and so its entire performance is reflected in its share price.
ESG Integration policy
The initial universe consists of companies that seek solutions to address the challenges of the current use of natural resources, namely resource scarcity. The universe includes companies that are active in the fields of basic resources and recycling and that benefit from short-term price increases in commodities. The screening results in the definition of a sustainable investment eligible universe. Companies are then analyzed following an economic profit approach. RobecoSAM conducts the Corporate Sustainability Assessment in order to verify companies' ability to mitigate risks and seize market opportunities deriving form sustainability challenges. The resulting Sustainability Score is fully integrated into the fundamental company valuation.
Investment policy
The RobecoSAM Smart Materials Fund provides investors with a future-oriented approach that goes beyond simply investing in natural resources. The strategy focuses on innovative materials that substitute traditional ones and process technologies that deliver efficiency gains in resource extraction, processing, and usage. These are the very mechanisms that have enabled humankind to cope with population and economic growth in a resource-constrained world over time. As we continue to deplete our stock of finite resources and environmental issues intensify, this is undoubtedly the investment approach of the future for the materials sector. The fund predominantly invests in materials, industrials and IT companies.
