Despite the current political uncertainties, Mike Clements and Pras Jeyanandhan, managers of the VT Downing European Unconstrained Income Fund (DEUI) are excited about the investment opportunities available. European markets are now at their most affordable in the last 15 years, and small caps are at their cheapest this century.
Mike Clements and Pras Jeyanandhan visited the Proactive Investors studio to speak with Stephen Gunnion about the fund and why they believe Europe is so attractive to investors right now. They also discussed how they identify exciting investment opportunities, their contrarian approach, their bias toward small and mid-caps, and the positions they have been building in the portfolio.
Although there has been market and political volatility, Mike and Pras believe this backdrop is throwing up plenty of exciting investment opportunities for stock-pickers like them.
