Global equities advanced 4.9% in August as measured by the MSCI AC World Index. In other words, they sustained the rally that has run since 23 March on the back of a persistent improvement in global growth, which in some areas is clearly surprising on the upside. Next to that, Fed Chair Powell committed to effectively maintain the Fed funds rate at zero over an extended period of time, which helped equities but at the same time resulted in a further weakening of the USD versus the euro. Despite the further weakening of the USD in August, emerging markets failed to capitalize on this in contrast to what they have done historically, underperforming developed markets by a sizeable margin. The latter were led by the US, with the S&P posting the strongest earnings beat in Q2 since 2000 and all indices reaching new all-time highs. Japan also did well, with monthly earnings revisions bouncing off the lows. Europe slightly lagged the global index but was up significantly nevertheless. China was an exception among emerging markets, racing ahead as the economic recovery gathered pace across both the manufacturing and services industries.

Robeco Digital Innovations integrates ESG factors into its investment process by analyzing the impact of financially material ESG factors to a company’s competitive position and value drivers. We believe that this enhances our ability to understand existing and potential (long-term) risks and opportunities of a company. The impact of material ESG factors can be positive or negative, reflecting risks or opportunities, that ensue from a company’s ESG analysis. If ESG risks and opportunities are significant, the ESG analysis could impact a stock’s fair value and the portfolio allocation decision. In addition to ESG integration, Robeco also has an exclusion policy and conducts proxy voting and engagement activities focused on specific themes, such as climate change, aiming to improve a company’s sustainability profile.
Robeco Digital Innovations invests in companies all over the world which benefit from the structural growth trends within the production side of the economy, for example robotics, digital manufacturing, energy transition and cybersecurity. Companies will primarily be selected on their exposure to the selected trends but will then be subjected to a rigorous analysis of the competitive positioning, strength of the management team and historical track record of sales, margins and earnings. Robeco Digital Innovations holds a concentrated portfolio of equities for which the fund manager expects above-average performance in the long term.
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
The business world is continually looking for improvements in productivity, efficiency and flexibility. The combination and confluence of increasing connectivity, digitization of products and services and digitization of business processes is providing abundant opportunities to make tremendous progress in these respects across virtually every industry. We continue to believe that the secular trends outlined above remain valid and will be reinforced by the current corona crisis. Having said that, recession is now the base case and the question is: how deep will it be and how long will it last? While the long-run prospects are very bright, the short-run outlook is more uncertain. Easing of the lockdown restrictions is clearly having a positive effect on economic activity, but the very realistic risk of a resurgence of Covid-19 infections is casting some shadows. In addition, markets have already pushed the valuations of companies that are expected to benefit from the longer-term fallout of the crisis to very high levels. Consequently, the risk-reward has clearly deteriorated compared to a few months ago.
