The deviating NAV is used to make a better comparison with the benchmark, which is also solely based on closing prices of the investments.

Market developments per 2020-02-29
During the first three weeks of the month, the equity markets continued their upward path. Even as the coronavirus forced already parts of the Asian economy into shut-down, the equity markets worldwide were hitting new highs. But when the virus hit Europe and started to spread even further, markets collapsed. The fear is that it could have a significant negative impact on companies and economies. In the last week of February, many markets booked their worst week since the 2008 crisis. Several companies already warned that their businesses will be affected at least in the short-term.
KGHDF underperformed the broader equity markets, although this was realized in the upward markets the first weeks of February. KGHDF declined slightly less compared to the strongly declining financial markets. Historically, the dividend strategy characterizes itself by declining less in more uncertain and declining equity markets. The portfolio has a more defensive character and a more attractive valuation than the broad equity markets. But during a panic sell-off it is often indiscriminate, equity investors basically sell-off almost everything. The most striking fact is that the ‘Quality Bubble’ has become even more extreme in February. Already for a while there is a huge valuation dispersion in the market, which now has reached levels not often seen before. You need to go back to the IT-bubble at the start of this century to find similar valuation dispersions. In particular the valuation of growth and low vol stocks has increased further versus value stocks (where the Dividend strategy focuses on the investments). So far this year this has been a major headwind for the strategies. Going forward, we see this as a huge opportunity when the market will focus more on attractively valued shares.
KGHDF had both negative stock selection and sector allocation that were mainly the result of the described style headwind. Most companies reported results as expected and a lot of shares were weak without specific news. In particular selection within communication services, consumer discretionary and industrials detracted from the performance. Within industrials easyJet was weak as airliners are affected by all travel restrictions that are implemented by governments and companies. Stock selection within healthcare was positive as Gilead performed strongly. Gilead’s medicine remdesivir is a front-runner in the search for a coronavirus treatment. With regard to the allocation, the overweight of the energy sector detracted from the performance. The oil price had a very weak period as the corona virus is expected to have a negative impact on the expected oil demand.

Portfolio developments per 2020-02-29
Trading was limited in February as we will implement the quarterly rebalance in March. The volatility can offer opportunities and we monitor the situation carefully. We do stick to our consistent and disciplined investment process.
The Kempen Global Dividend strategy follows a disciplined valuation approach. We assess companies based on long-term earnings power and seek a margin of safety in the price we pay when we select our investments. For almost 20 years, we have used this clear investment framework that requires a minimum dividend yield of 3% to ensure a portfolio with a high-income component and protection against overvalued companies. This approach has led to a strong long-term track-record, and we believe it will continue to pay-off in the future. As we have mentioned several times this year, the strong dispersion in valuation offers a unique opportunity. The Kempen Global Dividend strategy trades at an exceptional valuation discount versus the market. Historically, this has led to a strong relative performance on the medium-term. Also the absolute valuation of the Kempen Global Dividend strategy is compelling. In summary, the current environment offers the opportunity to buy a well-diversified portfolio with solid earnings power at an attractive valuation.
KGHDF currently has a forward dividend yield of around 5.7%.

Kempen's vision & mission
Kempen Capital Management is an asset manager that believes in stewardship and investment focusing on the long-term for the benefit of all stakeholders. Value creation is at the heart of the services we provide to our clients. We believe that being an engaged shareholder on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and retaining a long-term focus, is critical to helping our clients to preserve and create sustainable wealth that has positive real world impact and economic returns.
Kempen wide approach to responsible investment
We are committed to create sustainable alpha. The four pillars of our ESG-policy are:
-
ESG integration: Ensuring sustainability risks and opportunities are adequately considered in our investment analysis and processes.
-
Exclusion & avoidance: Not investing in companies involved in controversial activities or conduct.
-
Active ownership: Being responsible stewards of our clients’ capital and using our influence through engagement and voting to improve corporate behaviour on specific ESG issues and achieve positive change
-
Positive impact: Investing with an objective to achieve positive real world outcomes and impact, such as contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Â
To put our mission and vision into practice we engage with our investee companies on a wide array of strategic, financial, and ESG topics. As an active owner we use our influence to improve our investee companies’ ESG performance. This helps us address some of the most pressing and important sustainability issues facing business and the world. Our focus themes for engagement are: human rights, labour rights, climate change and governance.
Â
Through collaboration with other investors and industry think tanks we contribute to the development of principles and standards of corporate responsibility both at sector levels, as well as investee company level.
Â
Our full voting records are available here.
OUR FUND APPROACH TO RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT
Kempen’s ESG policy is fully implemented in our fund’s investment process across the three relevant pillars of: Exclusion, Integration and Active ownership.
Â
1. Exclusion
The fund follows the clear and transparent exclusion framework we have developed. According to the framework the fund currently excludes companies involved in the production of controversial weapons and tobacco. Furthermore, the strategy avoids investments in companies that structurally violate ESG criteria, with no willingness to improve. In total 177 companies are excluded from the fund’s global equity universe.
Â
2. ESG integration
ESG criteria are an integral part of the investment process. The aim is to incorporate material ESG issues in our fundamental analysis. This means that portfolio managers perform an in-depth analysis of ESG data and material ESG risks and reflect them in the assumptions used in the valuation assessment. For example, as demonstrated in the chart on the right side, the ESG impact forms part of our Earnings Power Value (EPV) valuation model.
Â
3. Active ownership
The aim of the engagements our fund participates in is to use our influence as a shareholder to encourage the companies we invest in to improve policies and practices in specific ESG issues. A successful engagement reduces the ESG risk and as a result unlocks value in the interest of our clients. In 2018 we held over 200 company engagements and voted at 104 shareholder meetings.
Â
In order to lay out our guiding investment principles, we send a “welcome letter†to most of the companies we invest in. In this letter, we explain to the company why we made the decision to invest and what our long-term expectations are, including those in the areas of social and environmental responsibilities and corporate governance.
Â
Our fund also believes in the strength of collaborative engagement. Through cooperation with other investors and fund managers, we can increase the leverage of our engagement activities. In 2018, for example, we participated in the CIO Exchange Collaboration on Energy transition.
Â
Our engagement focus is on: climate change and energy efficiency, and corporate governance. For example recent activities include:Â
-
Shell: We engaged with senior management to set carbon targets with success as Shell announced that it will link its scope 1,2 and 3 carbon targets to its remuneration. You can find the engagement factsheet here.
-
Severstal: We are monitoring Severstal’s health & safety efforts and encouraging the company to establish health & safety best practices that set an example to other Russian steel producers. As a result of the engagement, the company is working on a revised policy and process on labour. You can find the engagement factsheet here.
-
China Mobile: We have teamed up with another investor to engage with China Mobile. Our ultimate goal is to improve the company’s capital allocation as the company has a very inefficient balance sheet. To achieve this goal, it is in our view crucial that the Board becomes more independent.
