Euro Income Bonds Portfolio 2012

Richard Pease on Europe excluding the UK – March 2008

The Dublin-domiciled New Star European Growth Fund, lead managed by Richard Pease, is in the top ten per cent of funds in its sector since launch and has outperformed its index in the first two months of 2008*. The fund, which is AAA-rated by Standard & Poor’s†, did, however, have a disappointing 2007. Below, Richard explains how the portfolio has subsequently been repositioned and why his current holdings are well-placed to weather the storm.
