This equity fund invests in Europe’s developing economies in the Central and Eastern parts of the continent. Our stock selection approach utilizes a combination of top down and bottom up analysis. We start with an evaluation of economic conditions, singling out sectors of interest, and a proprietary quantitative model that screens and ranks securities based on valuation and momentum. Once the model generates a list of companies with the most attractive metrics, we conduct in-depth qualitative analysis, which often includes visiting companies on-site and meeting company management.



Appropriate for equity investors who seek exposure to Central and Eastern European stocks that offer an opportunity for long-term growth.



  • Potential for enhanced returns
  • Excellent diversification tool
  • Exposure to developing European markets
  • Invests in countries forecasted to expand at a greater rate than that of developed economies over the next five years
