REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Strong start to the year followed by correction
In the first  half of 2006  strong and balanced  growth was  recorded
globally. Generally, profitability in  the corporate sector  remained
strong and there was ample liquidity.
Inflationary pressures emerged partly as a result of the increase  in
the price of commodities like oil. Many central banks, including  the
US Federal Reserve Bank  (Fed) and the  ECB tightened their  monetary
policies. The Bank of Japan stopped its policy of flooding the market
with liquidity and bond yields increased sharply.
Until May  equity  markets  benefited  from  the  favorable  economic
outlook. This was followed  by a correction  triggered by fears  that
the Fed would  overdo its  tightening, putting  downward pressure  on
economic growth and on earnings growth in the corporate sector.
This concern also led to a general change in risk perception and risk
appetite. In recent years investors have generally searched for  high
returns by investing in assets  presenting a relatively higher  risk.
The more  uncertain  economic outlook  led  them to  show  increasing
preferences for markets and assets  that were perceived to be  safer.
The correction was  smallest in the  US and largest  in the  emerging
markets.

Outlook
The valuations of equity markets  generally appear to be  reasonable.
The economic  outlook  remains  favorable, with  expectations  for  a
moderate slowdown in the US, continuing recovery in the euro zone and
Japan, and strong growth  in most of  the emerging markets.  Interest
rates will probably go up further, while inflation may increase,  but
is likely to remain under control.
Equity  markets  should  do  reasonably  well  in  this  environment,
although there  is some   uncertainty  about the  possibility of  the
correction continuing and going too far. In addition, the US  economy
may slow down more  sharply than envisaged,  affecting growth in  the
rest of  the  world and  making  the environment  for  equities  less
favorable.

INVESTMENT RESULT
In the first half of  2006, the share price  of Robeco fell from  EUR
27.31 to EUR 26.50. Assuming reinvestment of the dividend of EUR 0.48
per share distributed in  May 2006, this is  an investment result  of
- -1.3%. Based on  net asset value,  which fell from  EUR 27.38 to  EUR
26.40, the investment  result was  -1.9%. The  fund's benchmark,  the
MSCI World Index, also fell 1.9% over the same period.
The fund performed in line with  the benchmark. Thanks to the  active
investment  policy  the  fund's  return,  before  deduction  of   the
management fee, was 0.5% higher than that of the benchmark. The sound
stock selection in a variety of sectors was the driving force  behind
this performance. Of the 0.5% mentioned above, 0.7% was  attributable
to stock  selection; the  sector-allocation policy  and the  currency
policy made a  negative contribution  of -0.1%  each. The  overweight
position in the  health-care sector and  the underweight position  in
utilities were the cause  of this. As was  the case throughout  2005,
the best  performing stock-market  sectors  were once  again  energy,
materials and  utilities. Currency  decisions  also made  a  slightly
negative contribution,  because from  June  onwards we  expected  the
Japanese yen  to appreciate  against  the US  dollar, which  did  not
happen.
Stock   selection   within    the   consumer-staples,   energy    and
telecommunication sectors  was good,  while there  was  below-average
performance in  the  health-care  sector. The  fund  Robeco  aims  to
realize a stable performance relative to the benchmark so the  fund's
performance is generated by a broad range of stocks rather than  just
a limited selection. We  would nevertheless like  to single out  some
stocks    which     realized    an     above-average     performance.
Archer-Daniels-Midland returned  no  less  than  68%  due  to  rising
ethanol prices resulting  from the  increased use of  ethanol in  oil
refinery. BellSouth rose  36.1% due  to AT&T's takeover  bid for  the
company.

INVESTMENT POLICY
In the first half of 2006 the emphasis lay on industrials, which is a
late-cyclical  sector,   and  on   the  defensive   health-care   and
consumer-staples sectors.  The fund  had an  underweight position  in
financials and utilities.
Within materials the fund maintained its position in commodities (BHP
Billiton, Rio  Tinto  and  Inco) and  bought  gold  producer  Newmont
Mining. We expect  gold prices to  rise further due  to purchases  by
central banks in  Asia and  the Middle East.  The limited  additional
gold-mining capacity to come on stream, will mainly come from Newmont
Mining itself.
Industrials is a very mixed  sector. Within this sector the  interest
in TNT was increased and a position was taken in Österreichische Post
when the company went public. Both companies are active in the  field
of postal services and package delivery.
In the  consumer-discretionary sector  we increased  our position  in
Coach. Coach designs, produces and sells affordable luxury bags.  The
company has seen strong  growth in North America  and Japan. In  this
same sector  we also  increased  our interest  in Partygaming  at  an
opportune moment. Partygaming  is an online  gaming site, with  poker
games, a casino etc.  After the successful bid  on VNU the fund  sold
its position and reinvested the proceeds in Wolters Kluwer.
Within the  consumer-staples  sector  the fund  took  a  position  in
Shiseido, a company with  great potential to  cut costs. Shiseido  is
also taking  advantage  of the  growth  opportunities in  China.  The
position in Constellation Brands was  sold after a sharp rally.  This
company has  developed into  an  acquirer of  increasingly  expensive
wine-producing companies and the question is whether it will be  able
to realize sufficient returns on these assets.
Within the health-care sector the portfolio interests were moved from
services (Omnicare, Caremark) to suppliers (Stryker, St Jude Medical,
Zimmer). The shares  of suppliers  dropped due to  price pressure  on
orthopedic products. We expect that  this price decline will be  only
of a temporary  nature and  are positive about  the long-term  growth
prospects for these companies.
In the financials sector we  sold the fund's interest in  Countrywide
Financial. This mortgage bank is highly dependent on the sale of  new
mortgages but because  of the slowdown  of the US  housing market  we
expect these sales to  be disappointing. In the  UK we sold the  bank
HBOS. The bank  is cheap, but  we see  very little growth  in the  UK
where consumers have accumulated a considerable debt burden in recent
years. A part  of the money  was reinvested in  DnB NOR, a  Norwegian
bank which we think is cheap and which operates in a country (Norway)
where banking and insurance products are currently booming.
Within the information-technology sector  we bought Yahoo! after  its
share price had  dropped considerably. The  company will continue  to
benefit from growth in Internet advertising in the years to come. The
position  in  Yahoo!  was  financed  by  reducing  the  interest   in
Microsoft.   Microsoft stock  is not  expensive, but  the company  is
still struggling with  delays in the  launch of new  versions of  its
software.
Within the telecommunication sector the fund switched its position in
France Telecom for  one in Deutsche  Telekom as the  latter has  more
restructuring possibilities.

NOTES

General
Robeco N.V. (hereafter  also referred to  as 'the fund')  is a  Dutch
investment company  with a  variable capital  within the  meaning  of
article 28 of  the 1969  Dutch Corporate Income  Tax Act  [Wet op  de
Vennootschapsbelasting 1969]. This means that no corporate-income tax
is due,  providing  that the  fund  makes its  profit  available  for
distribution to shareholders  in the  form of  dividend within  eight
months of the  close of the  financial year and  satisfies any  other
relevant regulations. As a  result of the  appointment as Manager  of
Robeco Fund Management B.V., which holds a license from the AFM  [the
Netherlands Authority  for the  Financial  Markets] under  the  Dutch
Investment  Institutions   Supervision  Act   ['Wtb',  Wet   Toezicht
Beleggingsinstellingen], the license in accordance with article 5  of
the 1990  Dutch  Investment  Institutions Supervision  Act  has  been
legally cancelled. Since 26 April 2002, Robeco N.V. is subject to the
EC  directive  containing  rules  for  Undertakings  for   Collective
Investment in  Transferable Securities  (UCITS). Under  the terms  of
article 6 of Part II of the Dutch Investment Institutions Supervision
Act, Robeco N.V. was  granted a license  as of the  same date by  the
AFM, permitting trade of its shares in other EC member states.

Manager
Robeco N.V. appointed Robeco Fund  Management B.V. as Manager of  the
fund as of 1 January  2006. The tasks for  which the Manager will  be
responsible  include  the   execution  of   the  investment   policy,
management of  the  fund  assets  as  well  as  handling  the  fund's
financial administration,  marketing  and distribution.  Robeco  Fund
Management B.V. is part of the Robeco Group and was granted a license
by the  Netherlands Authority  for the  Financial Markets  to act  as
manager on  29  December  2005.  The  agreement  between  the  fund's
management board and  the Manager includes  the stipulation that  the
Manager will  comply  with  the provisions  of  the  prospectus,  the
Articles of Association and the  directives of the fund's  management
board, insofar as these are in line with the shareholders' interests,
and that  the Manager  will observe  the applicable  legislation  and
regulations. The Manager will also regularly report to the management
board on its duties. At the  General Meeting of Shareholders held  on
27 April 2006 Robeco Fund  Management B.V. was appointed as  director
of the company.

Models
The semiannual report has been drawn up in conformity with the models
provided by Dutch legislature for annual financial statements, taking
into account the  regulations that  apply to  semiannual reports.  In
certain areas descriptions  have been used  which better express  the
nature of the items  and relate better to  the characteristics of  an
investment company.

Open-end fund
Robeco N.V. is an open-end investment company, meaning that,  barring
exceptional circumstances,  Robeco N.V.  issues and  repurchases  its
shares on a daily  basis at prices approximating  net asset value.  A
fixed spread between the bid and  offer price applies to cover  costs
related to issuance  and repurchase  of own shares.  The issue  price
will not be more than  0.5% higher than the  net asset value and  the
repurchase price will not be more than 0.5% lower than the net  asset
value. The abovementioned margin between the net asset value and  the
issue and repurchase prices,  and the associated  costs, are for  the
account and risk  of Robeco  Investment Consulting B.V.  (RIC), as  a
result of which Robeco N.V. issues and repurchases its shares at  net
asset value. RIC will distribute  any positive spread results to  the
funds, in  proportion to  each fund's  positive contribution  to  the
spread result. A buffer is maintained to cover any future losses.

Non-certificated participation in the Netherlands
Parties with  which  shares  may be  held  in  non-certificated  form
include Robeco Direct N.V. in the Robeco Group Accounts System or the
affiliated branches  of  Rabobank  in the  Rabo  Securities  Account.
Participants pay costs on the sum deposited for each purchase, and in
the event  of  a  sale  a percentage  of  the  sum  withdrawn.  These
participation costs are currently a maximum of 0.4% via Robeco Direct
and a  maximum  of  0.5%  via  Rabobank,  depending  on  the  channel
selected. These  sums  will  accrue to  Robeco  Direct  and  Rabobank
respectively.

Outsourcing core tasks
As a result  of the appointment  of the Manager,  outsourcing of  the
administration has been terminated as of 1 January 2006.


accounting principles

General
The accounting principles for the valuation of assets and liabilities
and determination of  the result are  unchanged, and as  such are  in
accordance  with  the  annual   financial  statements.  Amounts   are
expressed in thousands of euros.

Affiliated parties
Robeco N.V. is affiliated to  the entities belonging to Robeco  Groep
N.V. The affiliation  with Robeco  Groep N.V.  is the  result of  the
possibility of having decisive control or a substantial influence  on
the fund's business policy. Robeco Groep N.V. belongs to the Rabobank
Group. The  management  structure  of Robeco  Groep  N.V.,  in  which
significant authority  is allocated  to its  independent  supervisory
board, is such  that Rabobank does  not have a  meaningful say in  or
influence on the fund's business policy. Robeco Groep N.V. pursues an
independent investment policy on behalf of its affiliated  investment
companies,  taking  into  account  the  interests  of  the  investors
involved. Besides services of other market parties, Robeco N.V.  also
uses the  services  of  one  or more  of  these  affiliated  entities
including transactions relating to securities, treasury, derivatives,
custody, securities lending, and sale and purchase of its own shares,
fund-administration  services,  as  well  as  management  activities.
Transactions are executed at market rates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Risks
Transactions in  financial instruments  may lead  to the  fund  being
subject to  the risks  described below  or to  the fund  transferring
these risks to another party.
Price risk
Currency risk is the  risk that the value  of a financial  instrument
will  fluctuate  as   a  result   of  changes   in  exchange   rates.
Interest-rate risk  is  the  risk  that  the  value  of  a  financial
instrument will fluctuate  as a  result of changes  in market  rates.
Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, caused by  factors
that exclusively apply to the individual instrument or its issuer  or
caused by factors that affect all instruments traded in the market.
The fund  minimizes  the  risks  by investing  mainly  in  large  and
well-known companies and by making  a balanced selection with  regard
to  distribution  across  regions,  sectors,  individual  stocks  and
currencies.

Credit risk
Credit risk  is  the  risk  that  the  counterparty  of  a  financial
instrument will no longer meet its obligations, as a result of  which
the fund will suffer a financial  loss. The fund minimizes this  risk
by trading exclusively with reputable counterparties. Wherever it  is
customary in the market, the fund will demand and obtain collateral.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk  that the fund is  not able to obtain  the
financial  means  required  to  meet  the  obligations  arising  from
financial  instruments.  The  fund  minimizes  this  risk  by  mainly
investing in  financial  instruments that  are  tradable on  a  daily
basis.

Insight into actual risks
The Report of the management board,  the Balance sheet, the Notes  to
the balance sheet and  the Spread of net  assets, which includes  the
geographic distribution of the investments, the net currency position
and distribution over sectors, give an insight into the actual  risks
at balance-sheet date.

Risk management
Managing risk is a part of the investment process as a whole and with
the help of advanced systems,  the risks outlined above are  limited,
measured and monitored on the basis of fixed risk measures.

Policy regarding the use of derivative instruments
Investing implies that positions are taken. As it is possible to  use
various instruments, including  derivative instruments, to  construct
an identical position, the selection of derivatives is subordinate to
the  positioning  of  a  portfolio.  In  our  published  information,
attention is given primarily to the overall position, and secondarily
to the nature and volume of the financial instruments employed.

Derivatives

Total                   0.56       0.56


The total  expense ratio  expresses  the costs  charged to  the  fund
during the reporting  period as  a percentage of  the average  assets
entrusted during the  reporting period.  The total  expense ratio  as
shown does not include transaction costs. The total expense ratio was
0.56% during the reporting period. The management costs relate to all
of the  fund's  current  costs,  which  include  the  fees  paid  for
registering shareholders and all costs resulting from the  management
of the fund, with the exception of costs relating to investments  and
taxes. The service fee  covers the administration,  the costs of  the
external auditor, other external advisers, regulators, costs relating
to reports  required  by  law,  such as  the  annual  and  semiannual
reports, and  the costs  relating to  the meetings  of  shareholders.
Other costs relate  to bank charges  and the custody  fee charged  by
third parties for the custody of the fund's securities portfolio. The
custody fee is EUR 357 thousand.  For the period 1 July 2005  through
30 June 2006, the total expense ratio is 1.12%, and for the period  1
July 2004 through 30 June 2005 it was 1.05%.

8 Management costs and service fee
Management costs relate  exclusively to the  management fee of  1.00%
per year  charged by  the Manager.  The service  fee charged  by  the
Manager amounts to 0.12% per  year and covers formal and  operational
costs. For assets exceeding EUR 1  billion the service fee is  0.10%;
for assets exceeding  EUR 5  billion the  service fee  is 0.08%.  The
management fee and service fee are calculated on a daily basis, based
on the average assets entrusted.  Wherever in this report mention  is
made of the  average assets entrusted  this is also  calculated on  a
daily basis, unless stated otherwise.

9 Other costs
This includes custody costs and bank charges.

10 Performance fee
Robeco N.V. is not subject to performance fee.

11 Transaction costs
Brokerage costs and exchange fees relating to investment transactions
are discounted in the cost price or the sales value of the investment
transactions. These costs and fees are charged to the result  ensuing
from changes in value. The  quantifiable transaction costs are  shown
below. The transaction volume  of the quantifiable transaction  costs
is 92.8% of the total transaction volume.

12 Hard commissions and commission-sharing arrangements
Various  independent  research  institutions/third  parties   provide
services to the company to support its decision-making process.  Part
of the commissions paid to brokers is used to pay for these services,
so-called commission-sharing  arrangements. In  the reporting  period
commission-sharing agreements  represented  an amount  of  EUR  1,262
thousand (over the period 1 January through 30 June 2005 this was EUR
1,679 thousand). There were no hard commissions during the  reporting
period.

13 Turnover ratio
This shows the turnover of the investments against the average assets
entrusted  and  is  a  measure  of  the  incurred  transaction  costs
resulting  from  the  portfolio   policy  pursued  and  the   ensuing
investment transactions. In the  calculation method used, the  amount
of the turnover is determined by  the sum of the purchases and  sales
of investments less the sum of issuance and repurchase of own shares.
If the outcome  is negative, the  turnover ratio is  0. The  turnover
ratio is  determined  by  expressing  the amount  of  turnover  as  a
percentage of the average assets  entrusted. The turnover ratio  over
the reporting period was  22% against 43% over  the period 1  January
through 30 June  2005. Since 1  January 2005, the  fund is no  longer
managed by one single  person, but by a  team of four fund  managers.
Each team member focuses on specific sectors. As a result of this, in
the period 1 January through 30 June 2005, the stock selection within
sectors has been adjusted  in accordance with the  views of the  team
members.  Consequently,  the  turnover  ratio  was  higher  over  the
previous reporting  period.  These special  circumstances  no  longer
played a role in the period 1 January through 30 June 2006, therefore
the turnover ratio dropped.

14 Transactions with affiliated parties
Part of the transaction volume  over the reporting period relates  to
transactions with  affiliated  parties.  The table  below  shows  the
various types of transactions where this was the case.

15 Securities lending
Robeco Securities Lending  B.V. is  the intermediary  for all  Robeco
N.V.'s  securities-lending  transactions.  As  compensation  for  its
services Robeco Securities Lending B.V. receives a fee of 40% of  the
gross return on  these securities-lending  transactions. An  external
agency periodically assesses whether the agreements between the  fund
and Robeco Securities Lending are still in line with the market.  The
return for the fund  over the reporting period  was EUR 776  thousand
(EUR 538 thousand over the period 1 January through 30 June 2005) and
for Robeco Securities Lending EUR 518 thousand (EUR 359 thousand over
the period 1 January through 30 June 2005).

16 Voting policy for stocks in the investment portfolio

general meetings  of  shareholders  of  the  companies  in  which  it
invests. If the shares of an investment position have been lent  out,
