US equity markets declined in February with a combination of economic and policy-related factors sending markets lower. Despite a volatile month, value equities significantly outperformed growth and core equities in the month, as measured by the Russell indices, with large-cap value being the only market capitalization in positive territory.

Based on transaction prices, the fund's return was -1.70%. Robeco BP US Large Cap Equities underperformed versus the Russell 1000 Value Index in February, as stock selection detracted from relative returns. Communication services and financials were the weak areas for stock selection over the period. In communication services, the impact came down to one stock, Alphabet, as the share price declined close to 17% in the month. Within financials, capital markets business Blue Owl Capital, not owning Berkshire Hathaway and Fidelity National Information Services all weighed on relative returns. On the positive side, stock picking was strong in healthcare, with inexpensive biotech holding AbbVie adding most value as the stock soared close to 14%. Sector allocation was flat with overweight in communication services and consumer staples adding value, only to be offset by the fund's underweight in real estate and overweight in information technology.

Looking ahead, macroeconomic conditions in the United States over the near term look more mixed than they have in previous months. On the one hand, employment remains low, and consumer spending has been both stable and in line with longer-term averages. On the other hand, mounting uncertainties surrounding domestic economic policies in general and tariffs specifically may introduce heightened volatility, inflationary pressures, or both. That said, we believe ample opportunities exist for active managers who maintain a longer-term perspective in today's market. As always, we remain focused on selecting companies from the bottom-up that reflect Boston Partners' three-circle characteristics – attractive valuations, solid business fundamentals, and identifiable catalysts.
