Fidelity European Trust reconfirmed on this year’s AJ Bell Select List

Fidelity European Trust PLC continues to retain its place as one of just 16 investment trusts on AJ Bell’s Select List. The investment specialists at what is one of the UK’s leading investment platforms analyse the investment trust market, looking at factors including price, performance and size to create their list of preferred investment trusts. Fidelity China Special Situations PLC and Fidelity Special Values also feature in the shortlist. 
Below, you can view a short video of a conversation that co-portfolio manager Marcel Stötzel had with the team at AJ Bell, in which he provides an overview of the trust and investment approach. 

Why consider investing in Fidelity European Trust PLC? 

It is an uncertain time for the world and Europe is no exception. It is however vitally important for investors not to be blown off course. Good companies are still good companies and finding them remains the ‘secret sauce’ of any effective investment strategy. 

We will remain focused on the companies in which we have invested and, in particular, on their ability to continue to grow their dividends. As always, we will ask ourselves if that rate of dividend growth is already discounted in the share price. 

We continue to seek new opportunities to add to the portfolio at the right price and remain confident in those names we currently hold. This approach has historically served the portfolio well - including through the recent volatility of the last few months - and we see no reason to change course.
