Market developments per 2020-05-31
Compared to the previous months, May was a relatively quiet month for equity markets globally. They continued the upward path after the sharp rebound in April. In many countries the severe lockdown measures are being eased, which should help economies to gradually recover. The Fund booked a positive absolute performance but underperformed the index.
The Fund has so far failed to show its relatively defensive character during the market downturn. The attractive valuation of the portfolio in combination with the solid financial position of the companies we invest in should have provided a safety net. However, the uniqueness of this crisis has prevented the portfolio from showing its defensiveness so far. We see a clear schism in the market; where a large part of the market has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis, a significant part of the market (the part that largely pays no dividends) are priced as if they will be unaffected. We are confident however that the portfolio will show attractive risk return characteristics over the next 3 to 5 years, with an attractive and growing dividend income stream. We continue to diligently execute our investment process. As is the case with every crisis, it also offers attractive new opportunities. We have already added a number of new attractive companies to the portfolio and are confident that we will find more.
The most striking fact this year is that the ‘Quality Bubble’ has become even more extreme. A huge valuation dispersion between quality- and value stocks has been present for some time in the market, which has now reached levels never seen before. This month growth stocks strongly outperformed value stocks again, which was a headwind for the relative performance. You need to go back to the IT-bubble at the start of this century to find comparable valuation dispersions. Going forward, we see this as a huge opportunity when the market will focus more on attractively valued shares.

Portfolio developments per 2020-05-31
Next month, we will implement the quarterly rebalance of the Fund, as a result trading was limited in May. We sold our position in Simon Property Group. Shopping malls are obviously being hit severely by the Corona crisis. Although the economy is slowly reopening, Simon may see its rental income permanently decline by 20% as occupancy declines and tenants attempt to negotiate lower rents as traffic is permanently lower. Taking these developments into account the company no longer offered an attractive valuation. We used the proceeds to add to our position in Redwood Trust, as its valuation is very attractive after the weak share price performance.
In May, the Fund had both negative stock selection and sector allocation. In particular selection within communication services and real estate detracted from the relative performance. Sector allocation was negative as we are underweight the strongly outperforming information technology sector and overweight the energy sector, which lagged the market despite the oil price recovering sharply. The Fund benefited from positive stock selection within materials.
In our investment process, we spend a large portion of our time understanding where profitability should be on an over the cycle basis, as this is what determines the cash flows we will receive as a long-term shareholder. A firm may appear attractive based on its price to earnings ratio or other headline multiple, but if margins and/or revenue are high, this only gives you limited information about the future returns of an investment. In a diversified portfolio, we are always going to have individual names that disappoint or surprise to the upside. We believe that a value process of bottom up stock picking will lead to more winners than losers, as our long-term track record indicates. We continue to purchase our investments based on intrinsic value, while ensuring a margin of safety when we select our stocks.
After the sharp selloff of the equity market during the year, our return expectations for the broad market have increased. Valuation dispersion between, and within regions and sectors have further increased this year and are now close to the peak of the technology bubble (please see the slide below for the valuation difference of growth versus value). The Global Dividend strategy trades at an exceptional discount versus the market. Historically, this has led to a strong relative performance on the medium term. Also, the absolute valuation of the 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.
We currently expect a forward dividend yield of around 5% for the Fund. Obviously, this number is indicative and based on current figures with an outlook filled with uncertainties and therefore based on conservative estimates.

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.
