Aubrey European Conviction Fund
Available as:
Total Net Assets
Overview
The Aubrey European Conviction Fund was launched in 2019 and is run in parallel with a segregated European mandate, which the firm has now managed since 2008.
It is interesting to see a convergence of expected GDP growth rates across the major regions of the world going into 2022, given that European growth has compared unfavourably with the US and Asia for many years. This should provide a tailwind to many of the excellent European businesses within our portfolios that have thrived undeterred by the macroeconomic background, innovating, designing and manufacturing at the most advanced levels.
These businesses are typically not those which represent the major proportion of the European market index, e.g. banking, oil, pharmaceuticals. Our portfolios are 95% ‘active’ i.e. only 5% overlap with the index. We are investing not in those mature companies whose best growth is past but in the leaders of the future, companies that are delivering quite astounding levels of innovation. These are typically mid-sized, specialist niche companies, which are facilitating big changes in the way industries operate, energy is provided, and consumers live their lives. As a result, the companies in our portfolios are seeing levels of growth perhaps greater now than at any time in our three decades of investing in European markets.
We are signatories to the UN supported Principles for Responsible Investment, and have an extremely strong internal ESG process, with all investments scrutinised and scored against multiple sustainability criteria, based on the principles of the UN Global Compact in relation to Human Rights, Labour, Environment, Anti-Bribery and Corruption. We invest with the foremost aim that our companies should do no harm, and indeed, have a positive societal impact.
Investment Objective
The Fund invests in securities listed on Western or Emerging European exchanges with the aim of achieving long term capital growth. It is a high conviction Fund focused on cash generative growth stocks with sound balance sheets and strong ESG scoring. Its objective is to generate significant long term returns by investing in companies whose activities have a positive impact.
