Previously Threadneedle European Select
This is a high-conviction fund that invests in high-return, top-quality businesses. The main emphasis is on finding businesses which can raise prices in any environment. Manager Ben largely ignores macroeconomic factors, preferring to focus on researching individual companies and avoids industries with high regulatory uncertainty, such as banks or telecoms.
Benjamin Moore
Ben Moore became lead manager on the fund on 1st January 2021, having been co-manager since April 2019 alongside industry stalwart David Dudding. Ben originally joined the European equities team in 2015 as an equity analyst, initially working with smaller companies. Before joining the company, Ben spent six years with Goldman Sachs where he interacted with Columbia Threadneedle as a client. He holds an MA in History of Art from Cambridge University and studied Music at the University of the Arts, Berlin. He also holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. David Dudding, who was lead manager on this fund from 2008 to 2021, remains on the fund as a deputy manager.
CT European Select has an excellent patient process, which has repeatedly proven itself. Lead manager Ben has a fantastic understanding of the companies in which he invests, and this fund has delivered some of the strongest returns in the sector, while simultaneously being less volatile than most of its peers. We believe CT European Select represents a core European equity holding.
