The Board of Fidelity European Trust PLC (the “Company”) recommends a final dividend of 4.18 pence which together with the interim dividend payment of 2.65 pence per share (totalling 6.83 pence) represents an increase of 5.1% over the total dividend of 6.50 pence paid in the prior year.
The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company increased by +23.5% for the year ended 31 December 2021, outperforming the Benchmark Index, the FTSE World Europe (ex UK), which returned +17.4%.
This resulted in a share price total return for the period of +21.7%, comfortably ahead of the Benchmark Index. The Company’s NAV and share price total return performance over one, three, five and ten years remains well ahead of the Benchmark Index
The Portfolio Managers’ rigorous approach to stock selection has benefited shareholders during a difficult past two years.
The Company celebrated its 30th anniversary during the reporting period. An investment of ten thousand pounds in the Company at launch 1991, would now be worth as much as half a million pounds assuming all dividends received have been reinvested— an annualised total return of almost 14% per annum in sterling terms.
