The first part of 2016, marked by volatility and lower valuation in selected areas, has offered very interesting investment opportunities, especially for contrarian stock pickers with a long term investment horizon, like our European Equity team.
The presentation will be an opportunity for Claire Shaw, Member of the European Equities team and Portfolio Manager of OYSTER European mid & small cap fund to explain the philosophy and investment process behind the success of our European Equity strategies.
On top of that, Claire will illustrate the investment philosophy with various examples, amongst other in the Energy sectors as well as Emerging Market related stocks.
Highlights
