Fidelity European Values PLC aims to achieve long term capital growth from a portfolio primarily made up of shares incontinental European companies. The portfolio manager is not restricted in terms of market cap, country or sectorallocation which is determined by the location of attractive investment opportunities rather than the outlook for eachmarket.
European equities, resumed its uptrend after taking a brief pause in May, as European Central Bank(ECB) President Mario Draghi said that interest rates will remain low for an extended period of time ormay even be reduced further. The market was also supported by signs that the US Federal Reservemay maintain its monetary stimulus for a little longer than expected.
There is much debate about the recent rise in bond yields. This can be an inflection point, following avery long (more than three decades) decline in bond yields, signalling the beginning of a new era, inwhich the global economy, led by the US, shakes off the shackles of the financial crisis and returns to amore normal rate of growth. However, this is not certain and bond yields may sink again when itbecomes apparent that it is too soon, and the economy is still too fragile, for the Federal Reserve tostart “tapering” quantitative easing. Only time will tell. China’s rate of growth appears to be slowing asthe government focuses more on the quality and sustainability of growth rather than just the volume of
growth. Most notably, commodity prices have been weak, reflecting a slower pace in Chinese demandand a lagged supply response. This is good news for inflation expectations but may lead to furtherweakness in the new BRIC motors of the global economy. The abundance of liquidity, as a result of lowinterest rates and quantitative easing, has encouraged investment strategies that have dictated marketmovements, perhaps to excess, over many years. For instance, the “carry trade” of borrowing in dollarsto buy higher-yielding assets, often emerging market assets, may now reverse. It will be a fluidenvironment but the manager’s focus will continue to be on attractively-valued companies, with soundbalance sheets, which can deliver consistent dividend growth.
In July, the Trust recorded NAV returns of 6.9%, underperforming the index which returned 7.7%.
