Europe: why now?

Reflections on performance, portfolio companies and opportunities for returns in the year ahead.

Praveen Kumar covers insights on market trends, the Trust's performance and growth forecast.

James Dow updates shareholders on the resilience of the trust's dividend and portfolio.

Europe is home to many high quality businesses with good growth prospects, which are often global leaders in their industry. As fundamental, long-term investors, we aim to build a portfolio of shares of such companies which we expect to hold for a long time. We believe that by doing so we will earn attractive returns for our clients over the long term, regardless of the external environment.

The Worldwide Pan-European Fund aims to maximise total return principally through investment in equity securities which are listed, traded or dealt on Regulated Markets across Europe.
