Investment philosophy
We believe that superior long-term share price performance is driven by above-average sustainable earnings growth. Central to this are industry structure and the company’s position within that industry.
We seek to exploit the market’s increasingly short-term investment horizon by investing in companies when their longer-term investment attributes are masked by shorter-term trends or noise.
Investment process
Our European Large Cap strategy follows a disciplined bottom-up process:
- Idea generation: where we leverage five primary sources of ideas
- Analysis: where we conduct our proprietary research
- Portfolio construction: where we implement out convictions
Team and resources
Our European Equity Large Cap team is based in London and Paris. Peter Abbott, who has more than 36 years of industry experience, leads the team.
The team consists of portfolio managers and research analysts with expertise across different sectors. They benefit from access to our global trading and risk management platform, Sustainability Centre, Quantitative Research Group and Macro Research team.
