Global equity markets reached new highs as investors ignored the rising Covid-19 infections rates and renewed lockdowns in Europe. The initial rollout of vaccination programs, boosting hope and expectations of more stimulus buoyed markets. President Trump signed a coronavirus relief and government funding bill that includes new stimulus checks for Americans and small businesses. Following years of negotiation, the UK and EU announced having reached an agreement on their future relationship, which brought relief from concerns of Brexit disruption, even though a lot of details still need to be worked on. Manufacturing PMIs from major economies continued to reflect a moderate pace of expansion. Globally, earnings expectations are being revised higher. Materials, IT and consumer discretionary performed best, while utilities underperformed. In terms of economic participation, the World Economic Forum reported that it will take another 257 years to close the gender gap, compared to 202 years previously. This is sobering news and presents an opportunity to accelerate change.

RobecoSAM Gender Equality Impact Equities invest in companies that are leading with regard to the promotion of gender equality. It employs systematic, bottom-up stock selection that combines proprietary Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) data and research throughout the investment process. ESG criteria for exclusions and fund-specific suitability are applied during universe construction. An in-house Sustainability Investing (SI) research team integrates financially-material sector and company-specific sustainability analysis into investment cases. A dedicated thematic equity team incorporate SI research within fundamental analysis and stock valuations. Impact assessments of controversial incidences affecting portfolio holdings provide additional risk management. An active ownership and engagement team interacts directly with company management of fund holdings, offering additional channels for sustainable impact.
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. Building on our proprietary data and research, we identify companies that generate a competitive advantage through sound business practices, efficiency improvements, and the creation of new solutions for the myriad challenges facing society over the coming decades. Taking a long-term investment perspective, we analyze companies’ business models, market positioning and growth potential, and evaluate their financial performance and valuation. Based on this fundamental assessment, we seek to uncover attractive investment opportunities and implement them in concentrated, conviction-based equity portfolios.
Risk management is fully integrated into the investment process to ensure that positions always meet predefined guidelines.
The rollout of the vaccination programs give support to the markets and prepare the path to a sustained economic recovery. Consensus among economists predicts global GDP to grow around 4-5% in 2021. Although the long-term effects of the vaccines are unknown and there are still some challenges to overcome, easing social distancing and restrictions will likely have a positive effect on the collective psyche and trigger economic impulses given pent-up demand. Policymakers will likely stay accommodative and maintain ample fiscal and monetary stimulus to aid the recovery. Meanwhile, we would still caution that the economic consequences of the virus spread are severe, with a more sustained economic recovery likely 1-2 quarters out. We remain focused on sustainable high-quality companies, that exhibit a high degree of gender equality and make use of current market conditions to further solidify positions in companies with appealing mid- to long-term perspectives.
