Kempen (Lux) Sustainable European Small-Cap Fund celebrates 15-year milestone

Edinburgh, 1st November 2017 – Kempen’s Sustainable European Small-Cap Fund has reached a major landmark with the celebration of its fifteenth anniversary.

Generating an annualised gross return of 14.3%* since its inception on 1 November 2002 (with gross annualised alpha of 3.1% over the same period), the Kempen (Lux) Sustainable European Small-Cap Fund (fund) has continued to deliver strong long-term results by investing in a concentrated portfolio of quality smaller European companies that adhere to strict sustainability criteria covering environmental, social and governance factors.

Over the last 15 years, the Kempen investment team has gained significant experience integrating ESG factors into the analysis of European small-cap companies to identify high quality companies with a proven and sustainable competitive edge characterised by strong returns on invested capital. More than 1,750 companies have been scored on ESG criteria over this period.

Tommy Bryson, Co-Head of European small-caps at Kempen Capital Management (UK) Ltd, says the fund has continued to deliver consistently strong results over time due to its focus on company quality, proactive ESG engagement and identifying mispricing opportunities: “The excellent performance of the Kempen Sustainable Small-Cap Fund reflects the benefits of integrating ESG considerations alongside more traditional financial analysis and also the expertise of our investment team in engaging with smaller companies.”
