Join FEG CIO Greg Dowling and Richard Bruce, founder of Trinity Street Asset Management, as they explore the untapped potential of European markets. Discover why European equities are often overlooked compared to their U.S. counterparts, and explore diverse, undervalued sectors like tech giants ASML and ARM. Bruce discusses the impact of the "Magnificent Seven" in the U.S., the differences in regulatory environments between the U.S. and Europe, and Europe’s focus on data privacy. Also, understand how geopolitical events, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, shape market dynamics. And finally, Bruce explores luxury iconic brand strategies, revealing the secrets behind LVMH's success and the contrasting approaches of Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

Tune in for an analysis of European equities and discover its treasure.
Key Takeaways:

Although U.S. tech giants dominate headlines, European companies like ASML and ARM play crucial roles in the tech industry, particularly in AI development.
Bruce advocates for a selective, bottom-up approach to investing, identifying individual companies poised for long-term growth rather than relying on broad indices.
Countries like Switzerland, the UK, and Denmark have led the path in pharmaceutical innovation, with companies like Roche, Novartis, Glaxo, and Novo Nordisk making significant strides, particularly in developing GLP-1 obesity drugs.
Bruce discusses the challenges and adaptations within Europe, such as Germany’s energy transition and the automotive industry’s shift towards electric vehicles. He notes the competitive threat from Chinese manufacturers like BYD.
