It's almost become an article of faith among investors in European equities that companies perform well despite uninspiring macroeconomic factors. It may well be true that overall, European countries trail the US by a significant margin. But consciously or unconsciously our band of European investment trust managers tend to favour countries in Europe that exhibit similar rates of growth to the US. This is almost never discussed, and this lack of understanding is perhaps yet one more reason why investors continue to ignore a market which has some extraordinary companies. Despite this lack of investor enthusiasm, 2023 was a good year for European equities and the investment trusts that own them. Imagine what might happen if more investors woke up to this.
