Lannebo Europe Green Transition A EUR

In 2022 there is no doubt that Europe is at the brink of a major transition from fossil fuels to a circular and sustainable economy. Companies that are driving this transition will have major tailwinds for decades to come. This is especially true for small and mid caps and Lannebo takes pride in actively finding the hidden gems before large fund managers and passive investors.

Why invest in Europe Green Transition?

• Lannebo Green Transition is a dark green EU Article 9 fund. The fund only invests in companies that are driving the European Green Transition making your impact as an investor truly beneficial for a sustainable future.
• Lannebo delivers genuine active management. Therefore, instead of staring at the screens, following the index and the stock market, we deepen our knowledge of companies we believe in. We look for, find and meet with companies with strong business ideas, stable balance sheets and great potential to invest in early on. Over the years we have developed a keen eye for quality companies that are profitable and can continue to perform for our unit holders over the long term regardless of external conditions. We like when companies are experts at what they do, preferably world leading and we would like to see strong owners’ / management teams that advance the business forward.
• The small and mid cap market is less efficient compared to large caps, allowing for greater potential of additional returns in each investment compared to the overall market. Despite the fact that the majority of European companies are small caps there are fewer players that monitor and analyse them. We want to capture these opportunities with our proven approach where we evaluate each company based on our own critical analysis.
