Robeco is expanding its retail offering by introducing five additional strategies across equities and multi-asset solutions, broadening access to its institutional-grade investment capabilities for Singapore retail investors via distributors. The expansion brings the number of Robeco strategies available to Singapore retail investors to 14.

The newly available strategies are centred around three themes. These are “diversifying with quant”, “seeking income in an uncertain world”, and “capturing long-term growth opportunities with and beyond AI”, according to a statement.

Robeco is making two equity strategies from the Robeco QI Series available to the retail market for the first time: Robeco QI Global Developed Active Equities strategy and Robeco QI Emerging Markets 3D Active Equities strategy.

By combining multiple investment signals with differentiated return drivers, these strategies aim to reduce reliance on any single investment style, capture opportunities across a broad investment universe and deliver consistent long-term outperformance while managing risk. Robeco’s systematic approach incorporates its proprietary NextGen capabilities, which include AI and machine-learning techniques. The firm is also exploring other innovative strategies that are built on these techniques, including income-enhanced strategies.

Against a backdrop of interest-rate uncertainty and continued market volatility, income remains a key priority for many Asian investors. To meet this demand, Robeco is introducing the Robeco High Income Allocation strategy, an income-oriented multi-asset strategy that actively allocates across a diversified mix of investment grade bonds, high yield bonds, emerging market debt and equities, with distributions primarily supported by income from the underlying investments.

Finally, Robeco believes investors can participate in the growth surrounding AI in different ways, while also gaining exposure to broader long-term structural opportunities beyond the AI theme.

The Robeco Smart Energy strategy invests across the entire electrification chain, targeting the technologies, solutions and services required to expand, modernize and efficiently power a rapidly electrifying global economy.

The Robeco Asia-Pacific Equities strategy aims to provide investors with opportunities beyond the concentrated AI names and US equities, at relatively attractive valuations.

Dawn Foo, head of Asia wholesale distribution at Robeco, said: “We continue to see strong demand for differentiated investment solutions, whether it’s diversifying beyond increasingly concentrated markets, seeking resilient income in an uncertain environment, or capturing long-term opportunities arising from AI.
