Comgest Growth Europe Smaller Companies Introduced to the Academy of Funds

We are pleased to introduce the Comgest Growth Europe Smaller Companies fund into our Academy of Funds with an A rating.

We think the fund has a number of attractive features, namely, its well-established investment philosophy that is followed firmwide, and its managers, who have been investing in small and medium sized European companies for close to two decades. The fund broadens our European universe, for it invests in smaller sized companies in Europe including the UK. We believe it should appeal to discerning investors seeking long-term exposure to the region.
