Robeco QI Global Developed Enhanced Index Equities Fund
The fund is actively managed and invests in stocks of companies in developed markets. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund’s objective is to outperform the index. The fund seeks a well-diversified exposure to an integrated multi-factor stock selection model consisting of proven return factors such as value, quality and momentum. >>

Robeco QI Global Conservative Equities
The fund is actively managed and invests in low volatility stocks in developed and emerging countries around the world. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund aims for long-term returns that exceed those of equity markets with lower downside risk over the entire investment cycle, while still controlling relative risk by applying limits (on countries and sectors) on the degree of deviation from the Benchmark. >>

Robeco Active Quant Emerging Markets Equities
The fund invests globally in shares of companies in emerging economies such as Korea, Taiwan, Poland and Brazil. These economies can grow rapidly, so the risks can also be higher than in developed countries. The fund aims to achieve outperformance by investing in off-benchmark positions within defined risk limits. >>

Pimco Emerging Markets Bond
The Fund seeks to increase the value of its assets over the medium term by investing in government and/or corporate bonds and other debt instruments denominated in euro with an average remaining maturity of more than 10 years. >>

Robeco High Yield Bonds
The fund invests globally in high-yield bonds of companies with credit ratings below BBB, which is lower than ‘normal’ corporate bond issuers. Bonds are selected on the basis of our broad market view and thorough company analysis. All currency risks are hedged to the euro. There is no active duration policy, as duration is hedged to benchmark duration. Derivatives are used for various reasons: to hedge a particular position, for arbitrage, or as leverage for additional exposure to the credit market. >>
