GLG European Mid-Cap Equity

The GLG European Mid-Cap Equity strategy aims to generate positive returns through long and short investments in European mid-cap equities.

Disciplined investment process which aims to capitalise on information and analytical advantages and generate alpha opportunities from what the team believes to be an under-researched European mid-caps sector

Approach

The strategy seeks to provide investors with an attractive risk-adjusted total return, primarily through investments in companies with a market capitalisation of between EUR 500 million and EUR 10 billion+.

The portfolio managers, supported by a dedicated analyst, employ an in-depth investment research process which is driven by an extensive company management meetings programme, a proprietary analytical process and a life-cycle view of companies.

Through the utilisation of proprietary screening, research and valuation techniques the team aims to identify opportunities where the assessment of a company and its stock value differs from the market perception of the company and its stock price.

The portfolio is then constructed from a bottom-up perspective as the managers believe there is strong evidence to suggest that in mid-cap stocks, the primary sources of returns are stock specific, idiosyncratic factors rather than top-down macroeconomic, sector or country specific factors.
