Uncovering Europe’s hidden gems
Unearth the European companies set to redefine the world: Investing in Europe’s smaller companies provides an opportunity to invest in young, dynamic businesses at the heart of global innovation – including companies with great ideas in established sectors, like retail, finance, consumer durables and engineering. Whilst past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, Europe’s small and mid-cap companies have produced some of the best stock market returns of the past 25 years¹ .
The passion, people and resources to find opportunities first: JPMorgan European Discovery Trust looks to capture this potential by bringing together around 75 of the very best ideas we can find across Europe’s small and mid-cap universe.
Passionate about knowing companies in-depth, our small and mid-cap team conduct over 300 meetings and site visits a year. Supported by J.P. Morgan’s sector specialists and comprehensive research tools, they can track and compare opportunities across more than 1,000 small and mid-cap companies in over 25 European countries.
Capture the potential of Europe’s future leaders today: By investing in high-quality companies when they are relatively unknown and undervalued, the Trust aims to capitalise when other investors start to recognise their true worth. In this way, our investors can be ready to share in the growth potential of tomorrow’s most exciting and dynamic European companies today.
