Fund Range

The Fonds voor Gemene Rekening (FGR) structure enables Dutch investors to benefit from tax efficiencies through the Dutch Treaty Network. The fund reclaims part of the withholding tax paid in other countries – meaning investors get all of the benefit with none of the work. Through this process our North America Equity Index fund, for example, has the potential to offer an enhanced performance of approximately 0.60% when compared to other fund structures.

Our FGR Funds

Our FGR funds cover Index, ESG and Factor exposures, explore these using the tabs below.

The Benefits of Index Investing

As our FGR funds are passively managed, they offer investors a low cost, transparent and efficient way to capture the returns of a market with the additional benefit of tax efficiency. Index funds can be seen as useful building blocks for investors seeking to construct diversified portfolios as they capture the market return across a range of asset classes.

Adopting a factor-based approach

Factor-based investing is founded on the concept of improving returns through diversification. Historically, this involved diversifying portfolios by asset classes, but this approach has proven itself unreliable. Factor-based investing offers another means for investors to reduce risk and bolster investment returns by targeting specific risk exposures such as value, low volatility, dividend yield and quality. Different risk factors can be combined to improve a portfolio's ability to target goals such as generating income or reducing volatility.
