Investment policy
Robeco QI European Conservative Equities invests in low-volatility stocks in European countries. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund's long-
term aim is to achieve returns equal to, or greater than, those on European equity markets with lower expected downside risk. The selected low-risk stocks are characterized by
high dividend yields, attractive valuation, strong momentum and positive analyst revisions as well. The fund combines the outcome of a stock selection model with a
disciplined portfolio construction algorithm. This prudent investment approach results in a diversified, low turnover portfolio of defensive stocks aiming to achieve stable equity
returns and high income. The investment philosophy of Conservative Equities is based on our findings that investors tend to overpay for risk. The fund's quantitative strategy
benefits from the fact that many investors are constrained by the benchmark in their investment process. The fund bases its strategy on academic research and combines
several proven model factors to benefit from these tendencies in the (rational) behavior of other investors.
