Built to stand the test of time
FIDELITY EUROPEAN TRUST PLC
This investment trust is built on companies with well-formed, long-standing foundations.
Europe is home to some of the strongest, most stable and resilient companies. These global household names are famed for standing the test of time, even through periods of economic uncertainty.
Using Fidelity’s extensive research team, portfolio manager Sam Morse aims to select well-established European companies with proven business models, attractive valuations and the ability to grow dividends both now and in the future. It’s these classic giants with market-beating potential that have helped the investment trust outperform the index over the long term.
The value of investments can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you invested. Overseas investments are subject to currency fluctuations.
This trust uses financial derivative instruments for investment purposes, which may expose the fund to a higher degree of risk and can cause investments to experience larger than average price fluctuations.
