Continental blend: the case for European companies

SPONSORED CONTENT If being able to find stocks with unlimited upside but limited downside is one of the most important tenets of successful investing, where should one look? Often overlooked and misunderstood, Europe is the perfect stomping ground for investors seeking to find the perfect blend of companies with the potential to generate outsized returns in the long term.

Investors may be cautious about investing in Europe. Economic growth is uninspiring, its politicians even more so. Europe lacks a technology giant and its lacklustre stock market is dominated by large, bureaucratic multinational companies in sectors such as financials, consumer staples and even healthcare. Baillie Gifford is not buying these companies, however. We are investing in a small number of innovative, proactive companies that happen to be domiciled in Europe. Let us explain.

Please remember that the value of a stock market investment and any income from it can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount invested.
