Statistics	3 years	5 Years
Tracking error ex-post (%) The ex-post tracking error is defined as the volatility of the fund's achieved excess return over the index return. In fund management, most managers are subject to an ex-ante (pre-determined) tracking error, which defines the extent of the additional risk they may take when aspiring to outperform the fund's benchmark. The ex-post tracking error explains the distribution of past fund performances compared to those of its underlying benchmark. With a higher tracking error, the fund's returns deviate more from its index's returns, hence there is a greater chance that the fund may outperform. The wider the spread of returns relative to the benchmark, the more "actively" a fund has been managed. In contrast, a low tracking error indicates more "passive" management.	0.69	-
Information ratio This ratio serves to evaluate the quality of the excess return a fund manager has achieved because it takes the active risk involved into account. The information ratio is defined as the excess return over the benchmark return divided by the fund's tracking error. The higher the information ratio, the better. For example, a fund with a tracking error of 4% and an excess return of 2% over benchmark has an information ratio of 0.5, which is quite good.	0.39	-
Sharpe ratio This ratio measures the risk-adjusted performance and allows the performance quality of different investments to be compared. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the fund's returns and dividing the result by the fund's standard deviation (risk). So the Sharpe ratio tells us whether a fund's returns are the result of smart investment decisions or stem from taking extra risk. The higher the ratio, the better, meaning that a greater return is achieved per unit of risk. This ratio is named after its inventor, Nobel Laureate, William Sharpe.	0.01	-
Alpha (%) Alpha measures the difference between a portfolio's actual return and its expected performance, given the level of risk, compared to the benchmark. A positive alpha figure indicates that the fund has performed better than expected, given the level of risk. Beta is used to calculate the level of risk compared to the benchmark..	0.28	-
Beta Beta is a measure of a portfolio's volatility, or systematic risk, in comparison to the benchmark. A beta of 1 indicates that the portfolio will move with the benchmark. A beta of less than 1 means that the portfolio will be less volatile than the benchmark. A beta of more than 1 indicates that the portfolio will be more volatile than the benchmark. For example, if a portfolio's beta is 1.2 it is theoretically 20% more volatile than the benchmark.	1.04	-
Standard deviation Standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. The more spread out the data is, the higher the deviation. In finance, standard deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment's volatility (risk).	7.09	-

Sustainability

Per 31-08-2025

The fund’s sustainable investment objective is to contribute to keeping global temperature rise well-below 2°C by reducing the carbon footprint of the fund. Climate change and sustainability considerations are incorporated in the investment process via exclusions, ESG integration, a minimum allocation to ESG-labeled bonds and a carbon footprint target. The fund does not invest in companies that are in breach of international norms and applies the activity-based exclusions of Article 12 of the EU regulation on Climate Transition Benchmarks, EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks and sustainability-related disclosures for benchmarks as per Robeco’s exclusion policy. ESG factors, including climate change, are integrated in the bottom-up security analysis to assess the decarbonization potential and the impact of financially material ESG risks on the issuer's fundamental credit quality. Furthermore, the fund invests at least 5% in green, social, sustainable, and/or sustainability-linked bonds. In the portfolio construction the fund targets a carbon footprint at least equal to or better than the Solactive Paris Aligned Global Corporate Index. This is to ensure the fund is aligned with the desired decarbonization trajectory of an average 7% year on year.For more information please visit the sustainability-related disclosures.The index used for all sustainability visuals is based on Solactive Paris Aligned Global Corporate Index.

Market development

Per 31-08-2025

Markets were mixed in August, as strong earnings clashed with macro uncertainty and heavy supply. US equities advanced beyond Big Tech leadership, supported by one of the strongest earnings seasons of the past decade (ex-Covid), with widespread upside surprises versus preseason estimates. Bond yields eased on softer labor market signals, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling 14 bps to 4.23%, while Bund yields rose slightly, up 2 bps. At Jackson Hole, Powell struck a dovish tone, signaling a likely 25 bps September cut while firmly ruling out 50 bps, which markets fully priced in by month-end. The debate over Fed independence intensified after political efforts to remove Governor Lisa Cook, adding to market unease ahead of key data releases. In Europe, the ECB reiterated that policy is "in a good place", and rates are now expected to stay on hold at 2% through year-end. French political tensions ahead of a September 8 confidence vote briefly pressured OATs and bank spreads, though robust demand for corporate issuance helped stabilize credit. Credit spreads widened modestly, as heavy post-summer supply weighed on sentiment, with US IG 3 bps wider at 79 bps and EUR IG 6 bps wider at 84 bps.

Performance explanation

Per 31-08-2025

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was 0.53%. The Paris-Aligned Global Corporate Index returned +0.53% in August (hedged to EUR). Credit spreads widened over the month, ending at 76 basis points above government bonds. US IG was 3 bps wider at 79 bps and EUR IG 6 bps wider at 84 bps, leading to negative credit excess returns of -0.09%. As a result, the month's performance was primarily driven by moves in underlying government bond yields, with US Treasuries rallying 14 bps to 4.23% while Bund yields inched 2 bps higher. The portfolio outperformed its benchmark before fees. A modest beta contributed neutrally amid negative credit excess returns, while issuer selection had a positive impact overall. Our overweight in European credit relative to US credit, along with our curve positioning, modestly detracted from performance. The bulk of the outperformance stemmed from true bottom-up selection, with notable contributions from names such as Hiscox, American National Group, and Cellnex.

Expectation of fund manager

Matthew Jackson
Daniel Ender

Credit markets have rebounded strongly post-Liberation Day, with spreads tightening beyond pre-shock levels, driven by solid technicals and resilient demand. Fundamentals remain stable for now, though the true economic drag from tariffs and policy uncertainty has yet to filter through. US credit is supported by strong carry and cautious issuance, but the flatness of credit curves and stretched valuations limit upside. Europe continues to offer relative value, having lagged since Liberation Day, while EM credit benefits from lower leverage and improving macro tailwinds. High yield faces structural challenges as restructuring risk rises, with investor focus shifting up in quality. Tight spreads leave little margin for error, prompting conservative beta positioning. Selectivity, credit quality, and regional allocation remain critical in navigating the months ahead.
