Edison issues research review on BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust (BRGE)

BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust (BRGE) invests in continental European equities across the market cap spectrum; it is a concentrated portfolio and up to 25% may be invested in companies listed in developing European markets. The primary aim is long-term capital growth; however BRGE has a progressive dividend strategy - ordinary dividends have increased in every year since fund launch in 2004. Despite modest economic growth and political uncertainties in the region, managers Vincent Devlin and Sam Vecht continue to identify attractive investment opportunities. Following significant fund outflows from European equities, any change in investor sentiment would be supportive for the asset class.

BlackRock Greater Europe Investment Trust's objective is achieving capital growth, primarily through investment in a focused portfolio of large, mid- and small-cap European companies, together with some investments in the developing markets of Europe. It aims to achieve a net asset value total return in excess of the benchmark FTSE World Europe ex-UK index (in sterling terms).
