Boston PartnersValue Equity Investment Philosophy: Three Core Principles
Value Discipline anchored in Three "Fundamental Truths":
• Low valuation stocks outperform high valuation stocks
• Companies with strong fundamentals (high returns on invested capital) outperform companies with poor fundamentals
• Stocks with positive business momentum (improving trends/rising earnings)outperform stocks with negative momentum
"Characteristics-Based" Investment Approach:
• Valuation, fundamentals and momentum are analyzed using a bottom-upblend of qualitative and quantitative inputs
Preservation of Capital:
• Laws of compounding mathematically dictate that protecting capitalis the only risk that matters
• "Win by not losing": Keep pace in rising markets, outperform in fallingmarkets and diversify your exposure
Boston Partners 5
Boston Partners"Three Circle" Stock Selection Criteria
We buy stocks that exhibit:
• Attractive value characteristics
and,
• Strong business fundamentals
and,
• Catalyst for change
We sell stocks based on:
• Valuation: Appreciation to price target
or
• Weakening business fundamentals
or
• Reversal of momentum
Portfolios with all three characteristics tend to outperform over time

Robeco U.S. Premium EquitiesExample of a Purchase: Hewlett-Packard Company (HPQ)
FUNDAMENTALS
BUSINESS MOMENTUM
VALUATION
Hewlett-Packard Company,
together with its subsidiaries,
provides products,
technologies, software,
solutions, and services to
individual consumers and
small- and medium-sized
businesses (SMBs), as
well as to the government,
health, and education sectors
worldwide.
Fundamentals:
• Well diversifi ed tech company with strong market reach and channel relationships. Attractive returns with OROAs of 40-50%, good FCF production. Capital allocation has improved with debt levels reduced and cash return to shareholders increased (share count declines of 2-3%, 2.3% dividend yield).
Business Momentum:
• Upcoming split into 2 companies offers potential for better valuation as HP Inc. (PCs and printers) will return majority of capital to shareholders and pay an attractive dividend yield. HP Enterprise will be well capitalized and seek to create value through acquisitions and partnerships. Better execution and strategic focus as two independent companies.
Valuation:
• Trades at 8x P/E, 4.5x EV/EBITDA, 11x P/FCF.

Robeco U.S. Premium EquitiesExample of a Sale: Viacom, Inc. (VIAB)
References to specifi c holdings are presented to illustrate our investment philosophy and are not to be considered recommendations. The specifi c securities identifi ed and described donot represent all of the securities purchased, sold or recommended for advisory clients. It should not be assumed that an investment in these securities was or will be profi table.
Viacom Inc. operates as
an entertainment content
company in the United
States and internationally.
The company creates
television programs,
motion pictures, short-
form video, applications,
games, consumer products,
social media, and other
entertainment content. It
operates in two segments,
Media Networks and
Filmed Entertainment.
Fundamentals:
• Ratings continue to decline as younger viewers are increasingly spending more on-line instead of watching linear television.
• Cable television advertising revenue is declining as a larger % of advertising budgets are directed to social/mobile campaigns.
Business Momentum:
• Company’s balance sheet had weakened and there was now a slightly increasing risk that Viacom could violate debt covenants.
• Unfavorable outcome of the contract negotiation with DISH network could result in a material drop in earnings.
Valuation:
• Viacom appears to trade at an attractive valuation if the pace of earnings decline is not steep.

Market EnvironmentThird Quarter 2015
We have been due for a pull back• Valuations stretched, earnings growth has been put on hold, harder to fi nd new ideas
• Breadth of the market has narrowed over past year
• Momentum all that mattered - NFLX, AMZN, FB leadership
• Russell 3000® Growth has outperformed Russell 3000® Value by 7.2% year to date
• Many underperforming sectors including energy, other commodities, transports, industrials and media
ETFs, index funds and computer driven trading strategies are exaggerating the sell off• Many shock absorbers like specialists and block traders willing to commit capital to support market are no longer present
• Some reluctance by corporations to buy back stock due to bad press?
• More regulation coming for computer-driven, algorithmic traders?
Global economy has challenges but nothing like 2008/09• Global growth has been tepid over past several years
• Slowdown in China further pressures global growth prospects
• Healthy (6%+) top-line growth is diffi cult to fi nd
• Corporate earnings in U.S. may have hit a plateau with slowing emerging markets, lower oil and commodity prices and stronger U.S. Dollar
• Earnings are not expected to collapse like 2008
• U.S. Financial system today is quite healthy
New idea generation has picked up since the correction• Focusing on high quality free cash generators that have been unduly punished
• Not sure when sell-off will bottom - could be another month or two
• Expect to see more stories of stresses in the market - forced liquidations of stocks due to hedge funds in trouble, liquidity being scarce on negative headline days
• New opportunities for stock pickers to exploit the controversy Discussions of securities' returns and trends are not intended to be a forecast of future events or returns. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Please refer to the appendix for other important disclosures.

RIM is a subsidiary of Robeco Groep N.V. (“Robeco”), a Dutch investment management fi rm headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. RIM updated its fi rm description as of January 1, 2015 to refl ect changes in its divisional structure. RIM is comprised of three divisions, Boston Partners, Weiss, Peck & Greer Partners ("WPG"), and Redwood Equity ("Redwood"). RIM claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS® standards. RIM has been independently verifi ed for the periods 2007 through 2013. Verifi cation assesses whether (1) the Firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the GIPS® standards on a fi rm-wide basis and (2) the Firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and present performance in compliance with the GIPS® standards. The composites have been examined per the following periods: RIM Large Cap Value Equity,1995 to 2013; RIM Alpha Extension Large Cap Value Equity, 2012 to 2013; RIM Premium Equity, 1995 to 2013; RIM Mid Cap Value Equity, 1995 to 2006 and t 2010 to 2013; RIM Small/Mid Cap Value Equity, 1999 to 2013; RIM Small Cap Value Equity, 1995 to 2013; RIM Small Cap Value II Equity, 1998 to 2013; RIM Long/Short Research, 2011 to 2013; RIM Global Equity II, 2012 to 2013. The verifi cation and performance examination reports are available upon request.Past performance is not indicative of future results. This document is not an offering of securities nor is it intended to provide investment advice. It is intended for information purposes only.
Composite Construction(s)Performance results attained at BPAM have been linked to the results achieved at RIM beginning on January 1, 2007 in compliance with the GIPS® standards on performance record portability. Composites include all separately managed and commingled vehicles, fully discretionary, fee-paying accounts under management with a similar investment mandate and an account market value greater than $1 million with the exception of RIM Small Cap Value Equity and Small Cap Value II Equity which have an account market value greater than $5 million. Prior to January 1, 2007 the minimum account size for inclusion in the composite was $5 million. The composites contain proprietary assets. The inception and creation date of the RIM Large Cap Value Equity composite is June 1, 1995. The strategy is composed of
securities with market capitalizations primarily greater than $3 billion and is benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000® Value Index. Prior to December 1, 1995, there was no minimum market value requirement for inclusion in the RIM Large Cap Value Equity composite. Accounts that did not meet the newly established minimum balance requirement were removed on that date. The inception date and creation date of the RIM Alpha Extension Large Cap Value Equity composite is March 1, 2007. The strategy is an actively managed Large Cap Value strategy that utilized long and short equity position to generate alpha. The strategy is permitted to short 30% of the portfolio and reinvests the proceeds of those shorts into the securities that the manager fi nds attractive, creating a 130% long portfolio and a 30% short portfolio. The strategy is benchmarked against the Russell 1000® Value Index. The inception and creation date of the RIM Premium Equity composite is June 1, 1995. The strategy is a hybrid of RIM’s other equity products. It has the fl exibility to invest across the capitalization spectrum and to invest in securities with equity-like return and risk profi les. RIM Premium Equity is benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 3000® Value Index. The inception and creation date of the RIM Mid Cap Value Equity composite is May 1, 1995. Effective March 1, 2006, the Mid Cap Value Equity strategy is composed of securities primarily in the same market capitalization range, at time of purchase, as the Russell Midcap® Value Index. Effective January 1, 2005 the RIM Mid Cap Value composite revised its benchmark from the Russell 2500™ Value Index to the Russell Midcap® Value Index. The Russell Midcap® Value Index has less of a bias toward smaller capitalization stocks and thus more accurately refl ects the composition of RIM holdings. The inception and creation date of the RIM Small/Mid Cap Value Equity composite is April 1, 1999. The strategy is composed of securities primarily in the $100 million to $10 billion market capitalization range and is benchmarked against the Russell 2500™ Value Index. The inception and creation date of the RIM Small Cap Value Equity composite is July 1, 1995. The strategy is composed of securities primarily in the $100 million to $1.5 billion market capitalization range and is benchmarked against the Russell 2000® Value Index.The inception date of the RIM Small Cap Value II Equity composite is July 1, 1998. The composite was created in 2000. The strategy is composed of securities primarily in the $10 million to $1 billion market capitalization range and is benchmarked against the Russell 2000® Value Index.
The inception date and creation date of the RIM Long/Short Equity composite is August 1, 1997. The strategy is an absolute return product that balances long and short portfolio strategies and seeks to achieve stable absolute returns with approximately half the risk of the S&P 500. However, this product is not risk neutral. It is exposed to style, capitalization, sector and short-implementation risks. Use of the S&P 500 Index is for comparative purposes only since investment returns are not correlated to equity market returns. Prior to October 1, 1998, the composite was managed on a non-fee paying basis. Participant results would have been substantially different if fee waivers were not applied. Commencing on October 1, 1998 and continuing each quarter thereafter, the net of fee calculation includes a model fee for each commingled account included in the composite, and when applicable, the actual fees assessed for each separately managed portfolio included in the composite. The model fee, which is comprised of an investment management fee and performance fee, represents the deduction of the highest fee that could have been earned based on actual results during the performance period. In addition, other expenses typically borne by the commingled accounts, as defi ned in the applicable offering documents, have been applied. However, from time-to-time the commingled accounts may have placed a ceiling on the amount of expenses it had incurred. Although performance fees are paid annually when earned, for presentation of net returns, performance fees, similar to management fees and expenses, are accrued for on a monthly basis. Actual fees may vary. The composite is benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 3000® Value/Russell 3000® Growth for comparative purposes only since the strategy is not correlated to equity market returns. The inception and creation date of the RIM Research Equity composite is April 1, 2002. This strategy is an absolute return product that balances long and short portfolio strategies and seeks to achieve stable absolute returns with approximately half the risk of the S&P 500 Index. The strategy is benchmarked against the S&P 500 Index. The inception and creation date of the RIM Global Equity II composite is July 1, 2008. This strategy is unconstrained and primarily invests in equity securities in the global market without using hedges on currency. The inception date and creation date of the RIM International Equity II composite is July 1, 2008. This strategy is unconstrained and primarily invests in non-us markets without using currency hedges. The strategy is benchmarked against the MSCI EAFE Index. From July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010 the primary benchmarks was MSCI EAFE Value Index and on July 1, 2010 the primary benchmark change to the MSCI EAFE.

The inception and creation date of the RIM Global Long/Short Equity composite is July 1, 2013. The strategy is composed of securities with market capitalizations primarily greater than $50 million and is benchmarked against the MSCI World Index. BenchmarksIndex returns are provided for comparison purposes only to show how the composite’s returns compare to a broad-based index of securities, as the indices do not have costs, fees, or other expenses associated with their performance.In addition, securities held in either index may not be similar to securities held in the composite’s accounts. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of the common stocks of 500 widely held U.S. companies. All Russell® Indices are registered trademarks of the Frank Russell Company. The Russell® Value Indices typically measure the performance of universes of stocks displaying low price-to-book ratios and low forecasted growth values. The Russell® Growth Indices typically measure the performance of universes of stocks displaying high price-to-book ratios and high forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index measures performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. The Russell 2500™, and 2000® Indices measure performance of the 2,500 and 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index respectively. The Russell Midcap® Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000® Index. The MSCI World Index covers the full range of developed, emerging and All Country MSCI International Equity Indices across all size segmentations. MSCI uses a two-dimensional framework for style segmentation in which value securities are categorized using a multi-factor approach, which uses three variables to defi ne the value investment style characteristics and fi ve variables to defi ne the growth investment style characteristics including forward looking variables. The objective of the index design is to divide constituents of an underlying MSCI Equity Index into respective value and growth indices, each targeting 50% of the free fl oat adjusted market capitalization of the underlying market index. The MSCI EAFE Index is a free fl oat-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, excluding the US & Canada. As of April 2002, the MSCI EAFE Index consisted of the following 21 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Calculation MethodologyAccount returns are market value weighted and calculated on a total return basis using trade date valuations. Returns refl ect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, and are net of commissions and transaction costs. Performance is expressed in U.S. Dollars. Short sales are an integral part of the investment strategy and constitute the use of leverage. Accounts are temporarily removed from the composite when a signifi cant cash fl ow occurs, which is typically defi ned as a fl ow that is greater than 10% of the account value that exceeds a threshold of +/- 20 basis points from daily performance of the representative account and a similar account of the same strategy. An account is generally added back to the composite as of the fi rst full month following the signifi cant cash fl ow. Additional information regarding policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and presenting compliant presentations is available upon request.
Fees and ExpensesComposite returns are provided on a gross and net of fees basis. Account returns will be reduced by any fees and expenses incurred in the management of the account. In general, actual fees may vary depending on the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size. Net of fees returns for commingled vehicles that are members of a composite are calculated using a model fee that is the highest tier in the separate account fee schedule for the strategy. Fees are applied to gross returns at month end.Returns refl ect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings, and are net of commissions and transaction costs. Performance is expressed in U.S. Dollars. Additional information regarding policies for valuing portfolios, calculating performance, and presenting compliant presentations is available upon request. Investment advisory fees are listed herein and are fully described in RIM’s Form ADV, Part II.
Composite DispersionThe measurement of composite dispersion is calculated by the weighted average standard deviation of the annual account returns within the composite. Dispersion in composites with less than fi ve accounts included for the entire year is not considered meaningful and is denoted with “N/A”. Prior to January 1, 2007, the measurement of composite dispersion was calculated by determining the difference between the highest and lowest annual account returns within the composite. The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period.

Other DisclosuresRIM has adjusted the S&P and Russell sector classifi cations to group stocks according to similar business product lines and correlation of stock returns. RIM’s classifi cations are similar to the major market indices in terms of breadth but may differ in terms of composition. All product characteristics and sector weightings are calculated using a representative portfolio. Risk statistics are calculated using composite data.
