Threadneedle Investments Pan-European Smaller Companies Fund launched

A new Threadneedle Investments Pan-European Smaller Companies Fund has been introduced today.

The fund includes 1,500 companies across Europe into which investors can inject their money.

This list of firms excludes the 300 largest companies that feature in the FTSE World Europe Index.

Investment in businesses worth less than €50 million (£34 million) will not be available through the fund owing to the potential liquidity problems that these firms pose.

The company claims that both of its current funds have performed above expectations, with the UK scheme growing by 34.18 per cent and the European alternative expanding by 64.82 per cent.

Fund manager Philip Dicken said: "We believe that although the prospects for economic growth are drab in Europe, the outlook for corporate profits is still pretty encouraging."

The Threadneedle Investments Pan-European Smaller Companies Fund is part of the company's investment services division, which claims to be the third largest funds manager of its type in the UK.
