HL European
Managing a continent full of opportunities
Important - The value of this fund and the income from it can still fall, so you could get back less than you invested, especially over the short term. If you are unsure of the suitability of any investment for your circumstances please contact us for advice. Tax rules can change and benefits depend on individual circumstances.
UK investors are fortunate enough to have access to a number of exceptional fund managers in Europe. This fund blends our favourites in a single investment.Roger Clark and Ellen Powley, Fund Managers
Why invest?
The variety of companies in Europe can make it difficult to know where to invest. This fund lets you leave the fund manager selection to us and get a broad exposure to European investments. It could form part of a globally diversified growth-focused portfolio.
The fund invests with managers we believe have the best potential to add value. The majority of your money will be invested in shares. Many of our favoured managers invest in smaller companies, which means the fund will have more invested in this area than the average European fund. All this makes the fund a higher-risk option, and as with most investments, you should plan to hold it for at least five years. If you're unsure whether investing is right for you, find out whether you should save or invest.
You’ll get a mix of:
- Shares in European companies, including higher-risk smaller companies.
- Managers with different styles, strengths and areas of focus.
