Artemis European Opportunities
An equity fund investing predominately in large and medium sized European companies excluding the UK.
Overview
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.

Fund Group: Artemis Asset Management
Independent and owner-managed, Artemis opened for business in 1997. Its aim was, and still is, exemplary investment performance and client service. All Artemis’ staff share these two precepts – and the same flair and enthusiasm for fund management. The firm now manages some £27.4 billion (as of February 2018) across a range of funds, two investment trusts, a venture capital trust and both pooled and segregated institutional portfolios.
Artemis’ fund managers invest in the funds that they and their colleagues manage. This has been a key tenet of Artemis’ approach to investment since the firm started and align the fund managers’ interests with those of investors.
