Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.33%. The fund posted a positive absolute return in November, slightly above the index. This was primarily due to tightening credit spreads. Sentiment in equity and credit markets was strong due to the US presidential election outcome, better-than-expected news on the vaccine, and rising expectations for additional stimulus measures by the ECB, to be announced at the December meeting. Duration positioning in Germany and the US added to performance, while that in China and Korea detracted. Credit and government-related allocation added to performance, while FX positioning detracted. The gains from overweight positions in Italian BTPs were counterbalanced by a sizable short in French government bonds.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}German Bund returns lagged those of the US in November, though the numbers for both countries remained quite close to zero. The positive response in equity markets to both the US election results as well as favorable vaccine news could have led to higher rates, but the response in rates was muted because of ongoing worrying news about Covid-19 infections and remaining uncertainty regarding fiscal stimulus in the US. The vaccine news also had little impact on the dovish guidance from central banks. Despite supportive ECB guidance, Eurozone AAA government bonds posted modest negative returns. In explaining their returns, it is probably relevant to mention that these bonds started November at around the lowest yield level since March. Euro periphery bonds did better, benefiting from strong risk sentiment and dovish ECB rhetoric.

Currency policy
Relatively small positions in currencies other than the euro are permitted. Derivatives can be used for various reasons such as hedging single positions and arbitrage, or for leverage to gain extra exposure.
Derivative policy
Robeco All Strategy Euro Bonds make use of derivatives for hedging purposes as well as for investment purposes. These derivatives are regarded very liquid.
Dividend policy
The fund does not distribute dividend but retains all income in the portfolio, so total performance is reflected in the price.
ESG Integration policy
For Robeco All Strategy Euro Bonds, ESG factors play an important role in the investment process, both in country analysis and credit analysis. For sovereigns, the Country Sustainability Ranking and underlying research is used as input for assessment of the structural outlook for a country. For credits, the ESG analysis is part of the fundamental scoring by the sector analyst.
Investment policy
Robeco All Strategy Euro Bonds is an active bond fund looking to optimize returns on a risk adjusted basis. Its benchmark agnostic investment style is well suited to benefit from inefficiencies linked to benchmarks. It applies a top down strategic allocation. The fund benefits from market segmentation and prevailing silo thinking as it can allocate between all of the asset classes within the fixed income universe. The fund performance is driven by multiple drivers, of which country allocation is currently the most dominant. The Fixed Income Allocation portfolio managers focus on strategic asset allocation decisions. This team is responsible for the asset allocation of the fund and is looking at duration and credit strategies to be implemented into the portfolio. The team can also allocate to foreign exchange strategies but this is not the main contributor to performance. The fixed income investment teams focus on asset class specific strategies. The fund benefits from the expertise of each specific team. The team sets up detailed investment theses bases on fundamental research, applying a structured analysis framework that combines both top-down (macro environment & policy, valuation, sentiment & positioning) and bottom-up perspectives (a country's debt sustainability, macro-economic cycle, ESG profile). As such the portfolio managers have created a repeatable process that has led to long term alpha generation. Alpha generation of the fund is based on multiple performance drivers, such as country allocation, duration management and yield curve positioning. Risk budgeting can be adaptive through time in order to capture the most compelling investment opportunities.
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') ]}}Encouraging news on vaccines has brightened the economic outlook for 2021, and for H2 in particular. Still, with Europe in partial lockdowns and the US suffering from a third virus wave, the near-term outlook for economic growth does not look promising. Additional fiscal support and continued easy financial conditions seem essential in bridging economies to a time of widespread vaccination. The Fed will keep UST purchases at a high level and possibly extend the average maturity of their purchases. The ECB December meeting will likely result in recalibration of the PEPP and TLTRO programs, to ensure sustained loose financial conditions.
