A Mutual Fund That Bets on a Revived Europe
Henderson European Focus has a lot of flexibility, and you can buy it without a load at discount brokers.


A new European renaissance may be in the offing, at least as far as stocks are concerned. After a long period of subpar performance—European shares have returned roughly 30% less than U.S. stocks since the bull market began in 2009—the Continent’s markets have a lot to commend them: friendly monetary policies, weak currencies (which boost profits for exporters) and signs of economic improvement.
@Rankings exclude share classes of this fund with different fee structures or higher minimum initial investments. **Closed to new investors. rMaximum redemption fee.
