6:00pm Start – Online –Sharesify host

6:00pm – J.P. Morgan European Discovery Trust

Jules Bloch – Executive Director, J.P. Morgan Asset Management

Jules’ bio: Jules Bloch, executive director, is a portfolio manager within the J.P. Morgan Asset Management International Equity Group, based in London. He is a member of the European equities team, with a particular focus on small cap stocks. An employee since 2017, Jules was previously an investor analyst within the private bank.

He holds a master’s in management from the EDHEC Business School and Diploma in Accounting and Finance from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Jules is a CFA charterholder.

JPMorgan European Discovery Trust (JEDT) aims to provide capital growth from a diversified portfolio of high-quality smaller companies in Continental Europe. Investing in Europe’s smaller companies provides an opportunity to invest in young, dynamic businesses at the heart of global innovation – including companies with great ideas in established sectors, like retail, finance, consumer durables and engineering. JEDT looks to capture this potential by bringing together around 75 of the very best ideas we can find across Europe’s small and mid-cap universe. As the emphasis is on capital growth rather than income, shareholders should expect the dividend to vary from year to year.
