A European Research Strategy for professional investors has been launched by Janus Capital International Limited, the international arm of Janus Capital Group Inc.

The Strategy will be managed by the Janus research team, and will be overseen by director of research Jim Goff. The Strategy, which is global, is an analyst-driven, team refined strategy with holdings and weightings in each sector determined by the firm's seven global sector teams, consisting of stocks that the Janus research team rates 'buy' or 'strong buy'.

Modelled on the firm's existing US and in global research platform, the strategy is also based on a near 20-year old track record of investing in European and Global stocks.

The portfolio will consist of 50 to 80 stocks with a position size of between one and four per cent, and a €500m minimum market cap.

"I see the market for European equity strategies dominated by value orientated strategies, while this will be managed in a core growth style," said Erich Gerth, chief executive officer at Janus Capital International. "This European equity launch will allow us to take advantage of our long track record of investing in European equities as part of our global strategies; and enable professional investors to use our research-driven approach when making an allocation to these markets. This will also build on the demand we have seen for our US and global research-driven approach."
