Profile
Kempen International Funds SICAV - Kempen (Lux) European Small-cap Fund (the Fund) aims to generate strong long-term investment results by investing in a concentrated portfolio of small European companies. The Fund is managed on the basis of a bottom-up stock picking strategy that focuses on the identification of high quality companies and special situations. High quality companies have a proven and sustainable competitive advantage which is characterised by strong returns on invested capital, while special situations include companies that will benefit from a restructuring of their cost base or capital structure, a change in management, or for example, new regulation.
The fund manager believes that consistent investment results can be achieved using its investment philosophy that focuses on earnings as a key driver of stock prices in the long run, and change within a company as a catalyst. The Fund only invests when risk and reward are asymmetrically related.

Market developments per 2018-08-31
The Fund increased in August, underperforming the benchmark. The best performing companies were Kardex, Belimo and Simcorp. Hill & Smith, Implenia and Aurelius were the worst performers.
The European small-cap index decreased by 0.5% during August. Amid fears of escalating global trade wars European growth has slowed during the year. The end of the ECB’s quantitative easing program may also have had an effect on widening spreads, and has held back European equities more generally. Furthermore, the Economic Sentiment Indicator, which correlates positively with growth, has also been declining in Europe. The US economy posted annualised first half GDP growth of 4.2%. This marks the best growth performance in more than a decade. Corporate tax cuts have clearly acted as a considerable stimulus for the US economy this year. In Asia, China’s PMI was slightly weaker in August, primarily related to the trade war and the possibility of future tariffs on approximately $200bn worth of Chinese imports.
Switzerland, Ireland and Austria were the best performing countries during the month, while Italy, Portugal and Norway were the worst. Information technology, healthcare and real estate were the best performing sectors during the month, while materials, financials and utilities were the worst.

Portfolio developments per 2018-08-31
There were no new purchases or sales in August.
This month we have seen further confirmation that higher environmental, social and governance standards can help companies win new business. One of our holdings Implenia, Switzerland’s leading construction and construction services company, explained how their work to strengthen ESG performance across their business has helped them to win projects over their competitors, particularly when selling into the private sector. The company took their commitment to sustainability a step further recently by linking their credit lines to their Sustainalytics rating, allowing the company to access cheaper finance on the basis of a better environmental, social and governance performance. We welcome this news from Implenia and will use this as an example for future engagement with the rest of our holdings.
Looking forward, European growth appears to have eased from the levels recorded in previous quarters. Politics will remain an important influence on market sentiment – particularly the continuing evolution of Brexit negotiations. This combination of political and economic uncertainty should provide good stock picking opportunities, at attractive valuations, within our favoured universe of quality companies.

Our KCM wide approach to responsible investment
To put our vision into action we engage with our investment targets on a wide array of strategic, financial, environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. Our long-term investment worldview paired with thorough analysis and an experienced and diverse ESG team allow us to use both voting and engagement as means to consistently encourage positive change. Through this process of constructive engagement, we are able to contribute to the development of principles and standards of corporate responsibility within companies that we invest in. Our full voting records are available here.
Our fund approach to Responsible Investment
Exclude
Screen on controversies using MSCI ESG research.
Excludes investment in entities involved in the production of controversial weapons, such as cluster munitions, anti-personnel mines, nuclear warheads, chemical and biological weapons.
Integrate
We will only invest in companies that have either a Provisional or Pass rating
We undertake our own fundamental ESG research on each company then an independent sustainability consultant applies the scores which drive the rating.
If a company receives a Fail rating then we will not invest
Engage
ESG engagement can enhance performance through increasing upside and mitigating downside risk.
We believe that all companies face material ESG issues and that it is important to address these before investment.
As long-term shareholders it is our fiduciary duty to consistently encourage positive change through engagement and exercising our proxy voting rights.
