DEEP, COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH

A focus on European luxury goods

The emphasis is on companies, not regions or countries. In-depth, bottom-up research is used to identify companies with attractive long-term growth opportunities. International companies are market leaders in many industries. In certain sectors, European companies are among the world’s most dominant players. The luxury goods industry is one example, centered in Europe, with companies such as LVMH, Richemont and Hermès leading the luxury market.
