The Artemis European Opportunities Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality European stocks. Mark and Laurent run a disciplined approach to stock selection and portfolio construction. The base of their investment ideas involve rigorous fundamental research of companies and their ability to grow earnings and dividends, followed by a valuation assessment. Mark and Laurent, take a longer-term view of a company’s potential returns than many investors, expecting to invest for 3 to 5 years.  We like the fund as Mark and Laurent’s skill sets complement each other and their investment process have delivered strong returns.
