Developments per 2020-09-30
The major development in July was the agreement by EU government leaders on the EUR750 billion recovery fund set up in response to the coronavirus. The fund will issue EUR390 billion in grants and EUR360 billion in loans. The direct economic impact of the recovery fund will be small, however. The size of the fund corresponds to 6% of the GDP in 2019. Its historic significance lies more in the fact that the European Commission will borrow on the financial markets. This is a first step towards the enhanced fiscal integration of the European Union.
The recipient member states will not simply be handed sums of money. They will need to submit plans detailing their recovery strategies that will need to be approved by the ministers of finance via a qualified majority vote. The European Commission will subsequently decide on the final allocation of the funds. Individual member states will not be able to block allocations from the fund, but will be able to lodge objections if countries fail to adhere to the submitted plans. This could lead to payments being suspended for three months.
The ECB and the Fed made virtually no changes to their policy instruments in July. The Fed extended a number of stimuli measures, but they are precisely the ones that are underused. Of greater interest is the fact that the Fed has completed its internal study on its policies and policy targets. More information will be given on this in September. It is perfectly possible that the policy target of 2% inflation will be adjusted to an average of 2% over the entire economic cycle. This would mean that following a period of inflation below 2% the Fed could tolerate an inflation rate of above 2% for a time. And this would in turn mean expansionary monetary policies for a longer period. Prior to the ECB policy meeting, a few policymakers suggested that it might not be necessary to use the full 1,350 billion euro bond-buying programme. Yet ECB governor Lagarde made short shrift of such ideas. At the July press conference she stressed that purchases would continue until at least July 2021 and certainly until the ECB believes that the crisis phase of the coronavirus has passed.
The published growth data over the second quarter demonstrates the havoc wreaked by the coronavirus crisis. The US and German economies contracted by about 10% versus the first quarter. Although Germany has not yet published any details, in the US most components made a negative contribution. Only exports and government spending made positive contributions. In France the contraction was as high as 13.8%, while in the Eurozone it stood at 12.1%.
A recovery did get underway in the second quarter though. Aided by expansionary fiscal policies, it’s mainly consumers who are leading the recovery. The impact of the easing of social restrictions, low levels of activity and stimulatory fiscal and monetary policies is now at its maximum. On the other hand, there are growing concerns about the coronavirus. The number of cases is still rising fast in the US, although the rate does seem to be flattening slightly. Europe is also seeing fresh surges here and there, for instance in Catalonia and Aragon in Spain.
In July, the Kempen Income Fund earned a positive return of 0.70% (the performance may vary according to share class). A significant contribution to the return came from the tightening of spreads on corporate bonds versus German government bonds by 20 basis points to 137 basis points and on the high yield (BB) index by 35 basis points to 286 basis points.
German 10-year government bond yields declined by 7 basis points in July to -0.52%. Country spreads decreased by 3 basis points at index level, with spreads on 10-year Italian government bonds (17 bps) and their Slovenian counterparts contracting the most (22 bps). Spreads on government-related paper, such as KFW, IBRD and EIB, also tightened again slightly in July.
Inflation forecasts rose further, with expectations for the next 10 years up by 10 basis points. Our position in inflation-linked bonds consequently made a positive contribution to the performance. The same goes for our positions in Slovenia, Spain, Ireland and government-related paper, while our underweight in France contributed negatively to the result.
Portfolio policy remains unchanged. Bond yields are likely to stay lower for longer. The portfolio is also cautiously positioned for lower risk premiums on credits, countries and government-related paper. The economic recovery triggered by the easing of lockdown restrictions in Europe and elsewhere and the significant stimulus from central banks and governments offer a more hopeful perspective for the next few months, but the virus will continue to cause uncertainty. We are currently hedging 65% of the risk in investment grade corporate bonds and 70% in high yield bonds.

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.

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, ESG integration and Active ownership
Â
ESG is fully integrated into the investment process of the Kempen (Lux) Income Fund, with analysis undertaken both pre-investment and as part of our portfolio monitoring activities. Portfolio managers perform an in-depth analysis of ESG data, and ESG risks and opportunities are taken into account when selecting and monitoring governments, government related issuers and corporates.
Â
1. Exclusion
In line with the general Kempen policy, the Kempen (Lux) Income Fund excludes all countries and companies of the KCM exclusion- or avoidance list. Companies or countries on these lists are either involved in the production of controversial weapons, derive a significant portion of their revenues from the production or distribution of tobacco, or have been involved in serious controversies.
Â
2. ESG integration
We flag “low†performing countries and companies. The portfolio managers of the Kempen (Lux) Income Fund and the underlying funds, assesses the materiality of the ESG issue and its implications for the credit profile of the company or country. If an issue is deemed material, our first objective is to engage on the issue. If we can conclude from the engagement that the ESG concerns are not structural and if the company is willing to improve, we make an adjustment in the determination of the relative value of the company’s securities. In severe cases where we do not see any prospect of improvement we forego investment in the country or company.
Â
The fund performs a quarterly screening using the database MSCI ESG research. The Responsible Investment team conducts the screening, and a review of the ESG ratings of bonds in the portfolio along with discussions on ESG rating developments are conducted by the team.Â
Â
The following items are discussed on a quarterly basis:
• A review of the ESG ratings of bonds in the portfolio;
• A discussion on any developments / changes in the ESG ratings;
• Screening for controversies using MSCI ESG research;
• Excluding countries and companies based on UN Global Compact criteria;
• Excluding controversial weapon producers.
Â
Finally, the Kempen (Lux) Income Fund prefers Green bonds rather than a ‘normal bond’ if two bonds have the same risk/return characteristics. We are an active player in the market of green bonds and we have a green bond policy which outlines the guidelines we adhere to defining a green bond.
Â
3. Active ownership
Where relevant our fund will attempt to use its ownership stakes to engage with investees on ESG issues. For example, in 2018 the fund was part of an engagement with Bayer, following their acquisition of Monsanto. Through the acquisition, Bayer inherited several significant controversies in the field of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The goal of the engagement is to get a formal and written statement from the company which states that they will not sue small holder farmers for the unintended use of Bayer licensed GMO crops. It also asks the company to set a target for the number of farmers that receive education on their crop protection products.
Â
In addition the fund has ongoing engagement cases with Volkswagen on its company culture, Cez on the use of thermal coal, Glencore on climate action and Huntsman on ESG disclosure.
