BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust - Long-term outperformance from high-quality fund

BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust (BRGE) has two co-managers: Stefan Gries (since June 2017) and newly appointed Alexandra Dangoor (since September 2023). They highlight that Europe is very attractively valued and as the managers seek the best businesses that are based in Europe, investors do not need to have a positive view on the European economy to consider BRGE. The trust has outperformed the Europe ex-UK market over the last one, five and 10 years, and its NAV total returns also rank first compared with those of the other three funds with a growth mandate in the AIC Europe sector over these periods.

BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust - High-quality fund in underappreciated region

BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust’s (BRGE’s) co-managers Stefan Gries and Alexandra Dangoor remain positive on the trust’s prospects despite a mixed macroeconomic backdrop. Although the Chinese economy is weaker than forecast (China is an important European export market), and there are some weaker US economic indicators, European purchasing managers indices are rising and employment data is strong. The managers are selective, seeking high-quality European-based companies. Hence, investors do not have to have a positive view on the economy to consider BRGE, which has the highest return...

Games Workshop Group - A notable acceleration in Q225

Games Workshop Group’s (GAW’s) H125 trading update suggests the company enjoyed a strong Q225 in both its core business (due to the launch of the fourth edition of Age of Sigmar midway through Q125) and licensing (due to the success of the Space Marine 2 video game). These are impressive in the context of the tough comparative from the prior year’s launch of the new edition of Warhammer 40K (40K) and the currency headwinds in the early part of H125. We upgrade our profit estimates for FY25 (by 7%) and FY26 (by 3%) to reflect the outperformance versus our prior expectations.
