Profile
Kempen International Funds SICAV - Kempen (Lux) Sustainable Small-cap Fund (the Fund) aims to generate strong long-term investment results by investing in a concentrated portfolio of smaller European companies that adhere to strict sustainability criteria integrating environmental, ethical, and social standards.
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.

On 23 October 2013 Kempen SeNSe Fund (KSF) was merged with Kempen (Lux) Sustainable European Small-cap Fund. The results shown of the period before October 2013 are those of KSF. KSF had a similar investment structure and cost structure, but had a different tax regime that could have influenced the returns shown. In November 2013 the rebate free class (BN) of Kempen (Lux) Sustainable European Small-cap Fund was launched. The results shown of the period October 2013 - November 2013 are those of class B of the same fund. The higher management fee of class B has had an impact on the performance quoted. Until 28 February 2017 the benchmark of the Fund was the MSCI Europe Small Cap Total Return Index, of which the constituents are adjusted by reducing the UK component by 50%. 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.

Market developments per 2018-10-31
The Fund decreased in October, underperforming the benchmark. The best performing companies were Greggs, Dunelm and Takkt. IMA, DIA and Basware were the worst performers.
Equity markets fell globally during October as volatility significantly increased in a turbulent month. The European small-cap index fell by 7.6%. The source of this stark drop in risk appetite has not been clear-cut, but can be attributed to a range of ongoing worries – the Trade War beginning to impact corporate earnings, economic indicators softening in many regions, certain Emerging Markets in turmoil, and political uncertainty across Germany, Italy and the UK. In the context of the tremendous rally in global equities over the past decade, and a commensurate rise in valuation levels, a material correction is not unexpected – particularly in the US where markets have risen to a greater height. Corporate earnings have so far been robust (JP Morgan report that over half of the European companies that have published Q3 figures beat estimates; over 80% of the S&P500 also ‘beat’), but October’s sell-off implies greater doubt looking forward. Periods of heightened volatility create excellent buying opportunities for stock-pickers focused on long-term company fundamentals. As such we have commenced buying three New Ideas from our research pipeline during October. These will be reported upon completion.
Ireland, Portugal and Belgium were the best performing countries during the month, while Italy, Denmark and Spain were the worst. Telecoms, utilities and real estate were the best performing sectors during the month, while materials, energy and industrials were the worst.

Portfolio developments per 2018-10-31
We commenced buying three new ideas in October, to be reported in detail once a full position has been built.
We sold our position in DIA during the month. The company unexpectedly announced a substantial Profit Warning in October. The expected profit shortfall was attributed partly to erroneous accounting, and accompanied news that the CFO and Chairman were leaving the company. Due to the greatly heightened uncertainty surrounding this alarming news, and insufficient financial disclosure, we took the decision to sell our position. This follows a year of disappointing share price performance, as the investment case of superior ‘convenience’ supermarket locations and greater price discounting capability failed to materialise over our holding period.
The detrimental impact that plastics are having on our oceans is becoming well publicised. Fresh research from Orb Media suggests that plastic particles or fibres are now commonly found in drinking water. The United Nations has created a Global Plastics Platform to help countries reduce plastic use. Pragmatic solutions are clearly required. For those companies where plastic supply or consumption is a material concern we are discussing the strategies they have in place to reduce and replace. As ever, economic feasibility remains a natural brake on progress, but we are pleased to see greater resource being committed to this area. Stressing the relevance of such environmental concerns remains central to our conversations with management teams.
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.

KCM Vision
Kempen Capital Management is an asset manager with a long-term investment approach. We strongly believe in engaged shareholdership that benefits all stakeholders. As a long-term responsible investor, we firmly believe that active ownership and shareholder engagement contribute to positive change across the board.
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
We exclude certain activities that are not aligned to a sustainable fund. These include alcohol, animal testing, tobacco, pornography, fur, gambling, nuclear energy and thermal coal.
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.
