Despite all major European economies announcing new, harsh lockdowns for December after surging Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths, the MSCI Europe posted another strong up month after the record breaking ‘best month ever’ in November. The incoming news on positive vaccine trial data, the first deliveries of shots and the start of vaccination programs dominated current infection data and reinforced the market's attitude towards a risk-on mode. Current conditions remain dire, with leading indicators mixed at best. Whereas November was dominated by a much debated return of value stocks – namely stocks of companies whose shares trade at low multiples of their earnings or cash flows – December saw some of the rotation fade to the benefit of growth stocks again. In Europe, sectors such as materials, information technology and consumer discretionary did well, while financials, communication services and healthcare underperformed in an overall up market. The materials sector is benefiting mostly from the strength in commodity demand and pricing is driving up shares of metals and mining companies the most.

Sustainability Themed Fund |
To reduce any possibility of large currency deviations relative to the benchmark which heighten the level of risk, the fund may bring exposure into line with the currency weights of the benchmark by carrying out currency forward transactions.
The fund does not distribute dividend; any income earned is retained, and so the fund's entire performance is reflected in its share price.
Robeco Sustainable European Stars Equities integrates ESG at every stage of the investment process. We use sustainability performance rankings as a first indication of a company’s sustainability profile. In addition we use it to exclude the worst 20% scoring stocks from the investable universe. We then analyze 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 risks and opportunities of a company. If ESG risks and opportunities are significant, the ESG analysis may impact a stock’s fair value and the portfolio allocation decision. Throughout the investment process, we strive for a low environmental impact, as measured by GHG emissions, water use and waste generation, with the aim of realizing at least 20% better levels than the index. In addition to ESG integration, Robeco’s dedicated active ownership team conducts proxy voting and engagement activities focused on specific themes, such as climate change, aiming to improve a company’s sustainability profile. Furthermore, the fund will not invest in companies exposed to the following controversial sectors or business practices: military contracting, controversial weapons, fire arms, UN Global Compact breaches, tobacco, palm oil, nuclear power, thermal coal, arctic drilling and oil sands, according to strict revenue thresholds.
Our investment philosophy is grounded in the core belief that the integration of ESG factors into a disciplined, research-driven investment process leads to better-informed investment decisions and better risk-adjusted returns through an economic cycle.
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
The fund's strategy aims to make investments in high-quality companies with sustainable, differentiated business models taking a full-cycle view. Given that approach, we'd expect the fund to show its full strength when returns of individual stocks start to materially differ due to less overall market support. The fund's positions tend to be less driven by assumptions on general market trends, but much more by company-specific qualities that are likely to endure in both positive and negative environments. Driven by expected business resilience and comparably moderate valuations, our key convictions can give some comfort in volatile times.
