Profile
Kempen (Lux) Global Small-cap Fund (the Fund) offers investors the opportunity to invest in an actively and professionally managed portfolio of smaller listed companies worldwide, while at the same time complying with strict exclusion and sustainability criteria. These are defined as companies with a maximum market capitalisation at the time of initial purchase of either EUR 8 billion, or the highest market capitalisation of any company included in the MSCI World Small Cap Index, whichever is the greater. The Fund primarily aims to generate a better long-term return than the benchmark.
The portfolio construction process involves a disciplined end to end framework initially utilizing proprietary in-house stock filters screening for high quality and attractively valued stocks. Thereafter, fundamental in-house research is carried out to identify high conviction investment ideas. The end result is a portfolio of approximately 60 - 90 stocks, well diversified across all regions and sectors

Performance is shown after deduction of ongoing charges and including the reinvestment of dividend that has been paid out. The value of your investments may fluctuate. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
As of 30 June 2018 a deviating Net Asset Value (NAV) is used for the calculation of the performance figures. This NAV is calculated based on closing prices of the Fund investments thereby deviating from the NAV which was originally issued and partly calculated based on snapshots (Asia & Pacific investments). The deviating NAV is used to make a better comparison with the benchmark, which is also solely based on closing prices of the investments. However, for the calculation of the performance of 31 December 2021 the originally issued NAV of 3 January 2022 was used as the deviating NAV could not be calculated due to technical circumstances.

Developments per 2022-08-31
In the month of August the Fund (I-class) was down 2.4% versus the MSCI World Small-cap index (benchmark) that was down 1.9% after double-digit positive performance in July. Year-to-date the portfolio is down 4.8% versus the benchmark that is down 7.6%. The markets remain volatile due to uncertainty regarding the impact higher inflation and energy prices on consumers and companies. The portfolio benefits from diversification across sectors and regions as the dispersion in returns between regions, sectors and companies is high. The share price volatility also provides opportunities by trimming names that have performed well and selectively invest the proceeds in companies that have declined but where we see clear long term value.
The three top contributing stocks during the month of July were First Solar (+30%), Tripadvisor (+28%), and Thermon (+49%). First Solar's stock price was up 30% in August. The Inflation Reduction Act, which includes sizable tax credits for domestic production of solar modules, was signed into law. First Solar, as leading US manufacturer of solar modules is stand to benefit significantly from this. The company announced capacity expansion at its Ohio plant and plans to build a new facility in the US Southeast. With the tax credits in place the return on investment should be high and First Solar remains a core holding in the strategy. The share price of TripAdvisor recovered during August (+28%). The company reported strong Q2 numbers and its guidance for Q3 was well received. Viator (a leading experiences booking platform) achieved very impressive growth and TheFork (Europe's largest dining reservation platform) is also nicely above 2019 levels. Core Tripadvisor is doing well, with volumes still some way below 2019 levels, but on very strong profitability. Tripadvisor sees no impact on consumer spending from recession fears at this point. The share price of Thermon was up 14% during August, after the company reported solid quarterly results and upped its full year guidance. The company continues to see strong demand for its electrical (process) heating solutions with clients aiming to de-carbonize and moving away from gas-fired solutions.
The largest three negative contributors in July were Argo Group (-38%), Hikma Pharmaceuticals (-26%) and Renaissance Re (-24%). Argo Group declined 38% in August after the company announced weak Q2 results and a disappointing Loss Portfolio Transfer ("LPT") transaction. The announced LPT transaction covering the a majority of Argo’s US casualty reserves will lead to a US$100m after tax change. In addition Argo will retain a loss corridor of US$75m. We believe the arguments we have used to propose a strategic review, with the most likely outcome the sale of the company, have only become more relevant, after the disappointing Q2 2022 results. We therefore urge the Argo board to continue its strategic review process. We believe the sale of the company is still the best outcome for shareholders. Hikma Pharmaceuticals saw its share price decline 26% over August. The company's H1 financial results disappointed and Hikma had to reduce full year guidance. The main culprit is the Generics division, which is affected by steep competition leading to strong price erosion. The other two divisions, Injectables and Branded, actually performed well. Hikma's valuation can be fully explained by just the Injectables division, in our view. The share price of Kronos was down 24% during the month, after the company reported weaker than expected quarterly results. While the average selling price of its pigments continues to rise, Kronos also faced rising input costs. In combination with lower sales volumes, due to prolonged maintenance, Kronos was not able to meet expectations.

ESG Label
ESG Investment process
The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the consistent implementation of the funds ESG policy. The ESG policy is fully implemented in our strategy’s investment process across the three relevant pillars of: Exclusion, ESG integration and Active ownership.
In the investment process we assess the ESG profile of each company to ensure minimum environmental and social safeguards and good corporate governance practices. We assess each company on a case-by-case basis, taking into account material risks in a given industry in combination with the company’s respective risk exposure, governance practices and disclosure. A lower score (1-5) requires a higher return as used in our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models. We exclude companies with a score of 1. Companies with a score of 2 are excluded on a comply or explain basis. More information can be found in our ESG Policy and Process document.

Exclusion
The Fund excludes companies through the application of strict exclusion criteria. These take into account international standards, such as UN Global Compact Framework, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights, and our Principles for Responsible Investment commitments. We have summarized how we integrated the principle adverse indicators in our ESG policy and process in the ESG Policy & Process document that can be found on our website.
