Edison’s investment companies team recently published a review of BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust (BRGE). Its managers Stefan Gries and Alexandra Dangoor run a concentrated portfolio of high-quality European growth stocks. This strategy has proved successful with outperformance versus the trust’s reference index and its peers; ranking first out of six funds over 10 years in the AIC Europe sector.
