EQS-News: Edison Investment Research Limited / Key word(s): Miscellaneous Edison issues review on Fidelity European Values (FEV) 09-Jan-2017 / 16:45 GMT/BST
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
London, UK, 9 January 2017 Edison issues review on Fidelity European Values (FEV) Fidelity European Values (FEV) recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. It aims to generate long-term capital growth from investment primarily in continental European equities, although up to 20% of gross assets may be invested in companies outside the FTSE World Europe ex-UK benchmark. Since January 2011, FEV has been managed by Sam Morse, who uses a bottom-up process to select companies that have solid fundamentals and are able to grow their dividends over a three- to five-year horizon. FEV's NAV total return has outperformed the benchmark over three, five and 10 years. Revenue earnings are fully paid out as an annual dividend; the current dividend yield is 1.8%. FEV's current 13.2% discount to cum-income NAV is wider than the 11.3% average of the last 12 months. It is also wider than the averages of the last three, five and 10 years (range of 8.9% to 11.2%). This suggests scope for the discount to narrow meaningfully if FEV's near-term investment performance versus the benchmark improves or if investor appetite for European equities increases. FEV has grown its annual dividend consistently since 2010; its current dividend yield is 1.8%. Click here to view the full report.
