WS Ardtur Continental European Fund
WS Ardtur Continental European Fund invests in continental Europe. The investment objective is to generate long term capital growth for investors. The fund is long only and typically consists of 20 to 30 stock positions. The portfolio manager believes that portfolio construction is at the core of risk management and the size of each position is determined by the level of conviction in the holding.
Why WS Ardtur Continental European Fund
- Strategy. The WS Ardtur Continental European Fund follows a traditional value approach at a time when Continental Europe is ripe for a continued recovery of value, that started in the summer of 2020. The funds is concentrated, with typically 20-30 longs which is important for both alpha generation and risk management.
- Unique edge. Our value approach combines deep market insights with over 400 company meetings per annum, robust risk management, and a market leading track record of navigating complex market environments in Europe. The WS Ardtur Continental European Fund compounded at 10.3% over 8 years.
- Current opportunity. Global markets and economies have been dislocated by extreme monetary policies since the 2008 financial crisis. In equity markets this has resulted in an extraordinary pricing differential between the winners and losers of these policies, much of which plays out in the dramatic divergence in growth versus value. With the prolonged episode of negative interest rates in Europe, Europe is at a further extreme. However, we see substantial opportunity in a normalisation of the losers hence the “value case for Europe”.
