The Fund was launched in Q1 2015 as a large-cap, concentrated version of the highly successful JOHCM European Select Values Fund (ESV). Managed by experienced European equity investors Robrecht Wouters, long-standing lead manager of the ESV fund, and Luis Fananas, the duo have a highly selective, valuation-oriented investment approach which focuses on undervalued pan-European large-cap companies that generate high returns on capital. Their stock-picking approach is unconstrained by benchmark weightings and combines traditional ‘value’ investing and ‘quality’ characteristics, such as high return on capital employed. The Fund will typically hold around 25 high conviction positions with a low portfolio turnover. The Fund will typically have sizeable sector biases, usually avoiding commodity-like industries and capital-intensive sectors such as financials.
Investment Strategy
Drawing upon their exhaustive analysis of individual stocks, Robrecht and Luis seek to find large-cap European stocks that they believe to be fundamentally undervalued in absolute terms (trading at a discount of 25+% to their intrinsic value)
They believe that, over time, 'value' stocks of companies with high returns on capital employed and strong cash flow should outperform
In their view, a portfolio comprising quality companies, characterised by established and superior business models, and high conviction investment ideas provides greater potential for capital appreciation

Reasons To Invest
Since assuming leadership of the JOHCM European Select Values Fund in August 2008, Robrecht has established a reputation as a highly capable European stock picker

Strategy Highlights
As at 30 April 2021
Supported by improving economic data, better-than-expected corporate earnings and continued assurances from central banks, European equity markets delivered a third consecutive monthly gain in April.
The Fund outpaced its benchmark over the month, helped by a strong +20% recovery in energy technology group Wartsila.
Portfolio activity was limited this month. We exited French process and energy technology group Schneider Electric. Schneider’s share price has doubled from its March 2020 lows (when we first purchased it), and the stock’s valuation now fully reflects the bright prospects of the company, even if we stretch mid-term growth assumptions (recognising Schneider’s strong leading position). Slowly but surely, a door that opened a year ago (during the Covid-19 market crash) in quality, large-cap industrial names is closing.
The face of value changes with market prices. However, in a vast universe of stocks, there are always enough stock-specific value opportunities to construct a 25 (give or take) stock portfolio. For us, they can be traditional ‘classic value’ or ‘quality value’ opportunities. Today, significant value opportunities remain in a diverse range of companies that are still operationally curtailed by lockdowns, be it quality names (high tangible returns of capital employed) or classic value companies. In some instances, markets are still not willing to look past the pandemic-induced disruption. This explains, amongst other reasons, why the Fund’s upside to intrinsic value, in our view, remains so significant despite the strong market performance overall.
