Robeco Act.Quant Emerging Markets Eq. I EUR
Robeco Active Quant Emerging Markets Equities invests in stocks of companies in emerging economies throughout the world, such as Korea, Taiwan, Poland and Brazil. These economies can
show rapid growth, so the risks can be greater than those in developed countries. The fund uses a quantitative stock-selection model and aims to benefit from the systematic behavioral mistakes
of investors. This model ranks stocks according to valuation and sentiment. Highly ranked stocks are overweighted against the benchmark, whereas low-ranked stocks are underweighted.

Investment policy
The quantitative model that is used for Robeco Active Quant Emerging Markets Equities is based on a Robeco stock-selection
model which is a performance driver for two successful institutional Robeco funds. This model ranks stocks according to value,
price momentum and earnings revisions. The Active Quant Emerging Markets Equities strategy makes optimal use of the
model’s forecasting power, as it takes advantage of both its positive and negative views on stocks. High-ranked stocks are
used to determine overweight positions, whereas low-ranked stocks are underweight. The size and number of positions provide
a better level of diversification than a fundamentally managed long-only portfolio. This creates an optimized risk-return profile.
Fund Manager's CV
Mr. Tim Dröge is a Senior Portfolio Manager with Robeco and a member of the Quantitative Equities team since 2006. He
started his career in the investment industry in 1999 with Robeco as Account Manager institutional clients. In 2001 he became
Portfolio Manager Balanced Investments. Tim holds a Master's degree in Business Economics from Erasmus University
Rotterdam.
Fiscal product treatment
The fund is established in Luxembourg and is subject to the Luxembourg tax laws and regulations. The fund is not liable to
pay any corporation, income, dividend or capital gains tax in Luxembourg. The fund is subject to an annual subscription tax
('tax d'abonnement') in Luxembourg, which amounts to 0.01% of the net asset value of the fund. This tax is included in the
net asset value of the fund. The fund can in principle use the Luxembourg treaty network to partially recover any withholding
tax on its income.
Fiscal treatment of investor
Investors who are not subject to (exempt from) Dutch corporate-income tax (e.g. pension funds) are not taxed on the achieved
result. Investors who are subject to Dutch corporate-income tax can be taxed for the result achieved on their investment in
the fund. Dutch bodies that are subject to corporate-income tax are obligated to declare interest and dividend income, as
well as capital gains in their tax return. Investors residing outside the Netherlands are subject to their respective national tax
regime applying to foreign investment funds. We advise individual investors to consult their financial or tax adviser about the
tax consequences of an investment in this fund in their specific circumstances before deciding to invest in the fund.
Morningstar
Morningstar proprietary ratings on funds registered for sale in Europe reflect historical risk-adjusted performance. The ratings
are subject to change every month. The calculation for the Morningstar ratings on funds registered for sale in Europe is
motivated by the expected utility theory. The top 10% of the funds in a category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four
stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars and the bottom 10% receive one star. The fund was
rated exclusively against funds registered for sale in Europe. All copyrights relating to the Morningstar Rating are held by
Morningstar. For more information on Morningstar, please refer to www.morningstar.com

accuracy and completeness of the facts, opinions and expectations it contains, or their consequences. While we have taken
every possible care in selecting the information in this publication, we accept no responsibility for any damage resulting from
incorrect or incomplete data. This publication is subject to change without prior notice. The value of your investments may
fluctuate, and past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance figures are based on end-of-month
transaction prices and are calculated on the basis of total returns with reinvestment of dividend. The prices used for the
performance figures of the Luxembourg-based funds are the end-of-month transaction prices up to 4 August 2010. From 4
August 2010, the transaction prices will be those of the first business day of the month. The investment-management result
before deduction of management fees and/or performance fees is based on the performance figures relative to the benchmark.
Fund returns include reinvestment of dividend and are based on the net asset values and exchange rates at the time the
benchmark valuation was performed. Investors may lose all or part of their initial investment. If the currency in which the past
performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which you reside, then you should be aware that due to
exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may increase or decrease if converted into your local currency. A full list
of risks and disclosures can be found in the fund's prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. This is
available from Robeco offices or from www.robeco.com. The total expense ratio referred to in this publication is taken from
the fund's latest (semi)annual report and calculated on the basis of data from the closing date of the last calendar year. All
