The heavy-handed government intervention has had the added benefit that the 2020 credit cycle has been incredibly benign up until now. If this cycle would have followed historic patterns, the macro indicators would have suggested much higher loss rates. Many loan-loss models have been off, as they clearly did not incorporate the direct income transfers many governments have made to their working population. The US Fed performed another stress test in December and the big US financials all came out fine. The consumer finance companies also came through the stress test okay. If 2021 will be a year of economic normalization, the accumulated excess capital will most likely find its way back to investors, which is good news. Investors in European financials were hoping for something similar and although the ECB opened the door to replacing the dividend ban in December, it has opted for a complex system of caps, which basically translates into limited payouts, even for the strongly capitalized banks.

Robeco New World Financials 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.
Allocation to trend strategies that are based on long-term growth trends offer possibilities of outperforming the broader market over a 3-5 year investment horizon. This trend fund invests in companies in financial-related industries worldwide that benefit most from the selected long-term trends. Global population growth, urbanization, higher household incomes, technological changes and growth in emerging markets are the main drivers for our trend strategies. The fund manager selects the companies that have as pure as possible exposure to the selected trends and themes. Proprietary valuation models are used to select stocks with good earnings prospects and a reasonable valuation. Companies are individually assessed on the basis of in-depth discussions with corporate management and consultations with internal and external analysts.
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
Any outlook for 2021 will have to start with a look at how Covid-19 comes to an end, with initially easing of lockdown conditions and ultimately a return to whatever the ‘new normal’ will be. How quickly will there be a high enough level of immunity? We expect Asian markets to recover much sooner and basically leapfrog the developed markets by months. There should also be consequences related to the economic damage done in 2020. Banks and insurance companies will have to take losses because of these defaults, and recovery rates may be less than achieved historically. Luckily, a lot of provisions and perhaps excess provisions have been taken, while interest rates on the longer end of the curve may also face upward pressure as inflation expectations should rise. Though the Fed, ECB and other central banks will do what they can to keep the whole yield curve low to stimulate economic recovery. We believe that many financials must still make a lot of IT investments, especially in the back-office and mid-office.
