February 2025: European equities on the rise

Maandberichten-1e-kwartaal-2025-Website

The Sustainable Dividends Value Fund was able to continue its positive start to the year in February. Our investors achieved a return of 1.3% last month and 4.7% so far this year. Since its inception in 2016, investors in our fund achieved a 73% return. The numbers season is well underway and more than 60% of our companies have announced results for the final quarter of 2024. On average, these companies have reported earnings growth of over 20%. We expect that this increase in profits will also eventually result in higher prices for the shares in our fund. Political developments seem to be increasing interest in European equities in general. If Europe wants to become less dependent on America, European companies will benefit. Last month, we saw the share prices of large European companies (MSCI Europe Index) rise by an average of 3.6%, while smaller European companies gained 0.6% on average.

Testimonials

Harm Welleweerd
Former CEO iwell

Companies that see circular commodities and the clean energy transition as real opportunities have the best chances for successful growth. The Sustainable Dividends Value Fund focuses especially on this type of companies. This offers me greater certainty of returns and the chance to invest equity capital in accelerating the transition into a more sustainable society.

Bart van Asten
CTO of WorldACD Market Data

The Sustainable Dividends Value Fund invests in companies that take sustainability seriously. The fund is run by experienced people whom I have known for a long time and in whom I have great confidence. Those two factors ensure that I have been a participant in the fund for many years with peace of mind.

Milko Brinkman
Founder Brinkman Financial Consultants

The Sustainable Dividends team strives for socially sustainable impact. The world is changing rapidly. From my beach house, I saw Boskalis doing sand replenishment, TKH pulling cables to offshore wind turbines and Fugro mapping the North Sea and coastlines. Ørsted builds offshore wind farms, Vopak takes care of hydrogen storage and LNG, and SKF supplies ball bearings for wind turbines. Investing is that simple, and the Sustainable Dividends Value Fund invests in some of these companies.

Michiel Langezaal
co-founder and CEO Fastned

What really appealed to me about Sustainable Dividends is the story. First, we invest only in sustainable companies. Then, we look for companies that show an upward trend in dividend payments because companies with growing dividends have historically achieved above-average returns. A refreshingly simple and clear strategy that gives me confidence.
