Performance explanation
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 14.21%. Robeco BP Global Premium Equities had an extremely strong month in November, easily outperforming the MSCI World Index. Contributions to stock selection came across every sector, with information technology and industrials leading the way. Within information technology, positions in semiconductor companies STMicroelectronics and Applied Materials led the performance, as demand for semiconductor products has continued to hold up well. Positioning in the technology hardware industry was also beneficial, notably from the fund's position in Samsung Electronics. Not holding Apple, which lagged the market, also helped. Within industrials, positions in the aerospace and defense industry contributed positively, aided by BAE Systems and Leonardo. Regionally, the fund added value across all regions, with North America and Europe contributing the most.

Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}The markets as measured by the MSCI World Index rallied in November, rising 12.79% in USD terms/Net, as investor sentiment was buoyed on optimism about a coronavirus vaccine. Several vaccine candidates are seeking regulatory approval and distribution could start by the end of the year. Investor sentiment also favored value and pro-cyclicals in the month, a departure from the growth preference that had been driving the market earlier in the year.

Expectation of fund manager
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundFacts.date,'llll') ]}}Currently, the US stock market is exhibiting traits of a ‘split personality’. On one hand, a rarified 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 are trading above their 200-day moving averages. On the other, the stock markets' ‘fear index’, the VIX Index of implied stock market volatility, has remained above 20 for 196 consecutive trading days and has averaged a reading of 30+ this year, both marks not seen since the global financial crisis.One should expect volatility to remain elevated, with an ongoing ‘push-and-pull’ between valuation skepticism and uncertainty surrounding vaccine availability and administration, offset by the Fed's monetary stimulus ‘bazooka’ and record lax financial conditions. As always, the fund will continue to remain focused on a bottom-up approach, investing in companies exhibiting attractive valuation, strong fundamentals and improving momentum.
