In contrast to many commentators, we increasingly think Europe is a very interesting market. Expectations have generally been compressed by a pretty weak economic backdrop and an extended period of equity market underperformance.

Q1 2025 saw Emerging Markets (EM) rise 3% in a volatile quarter dominated by geopolitical concerns and trade tariff headlines. Amongst large markets, China was the standout performer, rising 15%.

Over the past decade, the European equity market has significantly lagged behind its U.S. counterpart. This underperformance was particularly pronounced in the final quarter of 2024, in the immediate aftermath of the U.S. election.

We are proud to share that we have been awarded Equities Manager of the Year at the 2025 Pensions Age Awards.

Watch as Senior Portfolio Manager, Nigel Bliss, reviews the case for international equity investing, considering current valuations and the compelling opportunities available outside the US.
