Business as usual under new manager
The European Investment Trust (EUT) aims to provide long-term growth in capital from a diversified portfolio of European ex-UK equities. There has recently been a change in lead fund manager; however, Craig Armour follows the tried and tested Edinburgh Partners investment process, which aims to select stocks based on a five-year P/E multiple (Y5 P/E). Evidence suggests the best performing stocks have a Y5 P/E of less than 11x; EUT’s portfolio currently has an average Y5 P/E of c 9x. Although the primary focus is on capital growth rather than income, ordinary dividends have been maintained or increased since 2009; the current dividend yield (including a special dividend) of 2.1% is above the peer group average.
