inflow of EUR 18.4 billion, EUR 6.1 billion of which was in the US. Robeco’s Bank savings products including third-party distribution, suffered around EUR 1.2 billion outflow. In Europe, there was considerable investor interest in both the balanced and fixed-income asset classes, resulting in cash inflows that exceeded the EUR 16 billion mark in 2012. The mutual funds of Harbor Capital Advisors were especially popular among retail clients and Robeco Investment Management also enjoyed strong inflows. Harbor International Fund is Robeco’s largest mutual fund and had EUR 30.3 billion in assets under management by the end of 2012. At present, there is a rapid increase in demand among employers and pension funds for defined-contribution solutions, which can be implemented in a transparent and efficient manner. In order to meet this demand, Robeco launched the Robeco Premie Pensioen Instelling (PPI) in the Netherlands, which experienced positive momentum last year as it welcomed several large pension funds as new clients.
