Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}In August, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was up 1.06% in euro terms, lagging developed markets which were up 5.48%. In emerging markets, the performance of consumer discretionary was impressive, primarily driven by a sharp increase in e-commerce stocks in China, which masked an otherwise flat month. Value sectors were again lagging their growth counterparts. China was among the best-performing countries. The economic recovery gathered pace across manufacturing as well as services industries in the largest economy of the region. India was an outperformer on the back of record-high foreign investor’s inflows, which helped the Indian rupee to appreciate 2% versus the US dollar. Despite a strong increase in commodity prices, the frothy investor sentiment towards South Africa, Brazil and Chile led to a consolidation in those markets. Losses on the Turkish lira weighed on Turkish equities, which were among the worst performing. Emerging market equity funds saw net subscriptions in August, but year-to-date flows out of emerging market equities stands at USD 46 billion.

Currency policy
The fund is allowed to pursue an active currency policy to generate extra returns.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend. The income earned by the fund is reflected in its share price. The fund's entire result is thus reflected in its share price development.
ESG Integration policy
Robeco Emerging Markets Equities 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.
Investment policy
Robeco Emerging Markets Equities invests globally in emerging economies. The focus is on companies which combine a sound business model and solid growth prospects with a reasonable valuation. The first step in portfolio composition is the top-down country selection, as research shows that country specific factors drive stock returns in emerging markets. The second step is in-depth fundamental analysis of companies and serves to identify stocks with the ability to outperform in the long run. Key items of our fundamental analysis are: growth prospects of sector, position of company within sector, competitive strength, financial health and strategy, corporate governance and management quality. We screen stocks with our proprietary quantitative model for attractive characteristics.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}The outlook has changed dramatically due to the pandemic. There is significant contraction in the global economy, and earnings for many companies are coming down. Massive support from governments and central banks will ease the economic pain. New infections have come down significantly in Europe, and we are seeing a gradual easing of the lockdown measures and the start of an economic recovery. In the US, new infections are re-accelerating, risking a potential return to more strict lockdowns. In the emerging world, China, Korea and Taiwan have been able to contain the spread of the virus, and should be able to maintain economic production, yet are still affected by weaker global demand. Other emerging countries, including Brazil, South Africa, Russia and India, are severely affected. Still, during the pandemic, emerging markets have become even more attractively valued compared to developed markets. Large emerging countries will be impacted by the coronavirus, but their equities and currencies have already corrected. In addition, two-thirds of EM (China, Taiwan, Korea) have been able to deal with Covid-19 well.
