European small caps with leading market positions in their niche markets and above-average earnings growth due to structural growth

Investment Strategy

The strategy is based on a disciplined bottom-up stock selection of attractive smaller companies (market capitalisation up to 5bn EUR) based in Europe, but generally operating globally. Investments are made in established niche companies that achieve sustainable and above-average growth over long periods with high profitability. The decisive criteria are end markets with structural growth, high entry barriers and excellent management teams.

Diversified portfolio of 70-90 stocks
Use of information inefficiencies due to low coverage
Long-term investment horizon and low portfolio turnover
