Joining us today to focus on the latest investment opportunities and challenges facing Europe, is London-based portfolio manager Matt Siddle. For Canadian investors, Matt manages Fidelity Europe Fund, a regional equity strategy that aims to offer exposure to companies in the European market. Matt shares that there is uncertainty about the current geopolitical environment. The Europe market was already cheaper and this has just accentuated, but he reminds us it’s important to look at valuations and at different time frames. There may be short term uncertainty but when looking medium to long term, valuations have become even more attractive. With host Pamela Ritchie, Matt also discusses how his two decades of experience helps navigate this market volatility, looks at financials and European banks specifically, as well as alternative energies, specifically wind and solar, noting different options suit different regions best.
