Its character
A focused bet on European shares, so it leans on big European names in sectors like healthcare, financials and consumer goods, and leaves out the US that dominates a global fund.
What to keep in mind
Concentrated in a single region, so it rises and falls with European markets and the various European currencies against the Australian dollar.
