Although Europe is once again under the microscope for all the wrong reasons, Waverton European Capital Growth co-manager Chris Garsten believes the much-maligned market is now a far more compelling investment proposition than it was eight months ago. He also talks to us about the threat of recession and why he feels it is important to go against the consensus when markets are difficult. Chris also talks to us about why the political need for the Euro to succeed will prevent any further break up. He also runs through the cyclical recovery opportunities he is finding in a post Covid world and the importance of having a strong investment process to find opportunities in the ESG space.
What's covered in this episode:
Why challenges equal opportunities in a post-Covid world and the attraction of cyclical recovery stocksHow the semiconductor shortage benefitted car companiesWhy finding ESG winners is anything but straightforwardHow new EU rules around sustainability could impact capital flows into minersWhy he is a fan of Scandinavian/Nordic companies and the importance of “strategic thinkers” like Nestle and RushHis fears about recession in Europe and why history tells us to be contrarian in difficult marketsWhy the political will for the Euro to succeed means it is unlikely to break upWhy Europe looks a more interesting investment than it did eight months agoMore about this fund:
The managers of Waverton European Capital Growth fund focus on finding companies whose management interests are aligned with shareholders, have earnings visibility, pricing power, cash generation and return on capital. But companies don’t have to have all these attributes at the point of investment – indeed, many of their best ideas are businesses in the early stages of reform.
