About Us
At The European Investor, we have one goal: identifying the best stocks Europe has to offer to help you build a profitable portfolio.
To find those promising companies, we use statistical models designed to detect opportunities in all market conditions. You can learn all about our approach on our methodology page but first, let us introduce ourselves:

Now, why do (smart) investors trust us?
-
We have hands-on market experience. We've been in the markets for a long time and helped countless investors build a profitable portfolio. We know how complex it can be, and we know how to help.
-
We get great results, and publish them. The performances of all our past recommendations are visible on our Track Record page, which is updated every month.
-
We identify at least 5 promising stocks each month. That's 60+ high-quality companies per year, more than enough to diversify every type of portfolio and adapt to every investment strategy.
-
We integrate diligent risk management in every recommendation. All our stock picks come with a predefined price target, which encourage you to progressively reduce exposure and take profit on winning positions.
-
Our readers are particulartly sophisticated investors, among which many finance professionals, but also executives, entrepreneurs, academics and family offices. Their common trait? They all understand that European markets have a lot to offer.
-
We find opportunities everywhere in Europe. Most researchers will limit themselves to companies listed in London, Paris and Frankfurt. But trust our experience (and our data), there is also money to be made in Helsinki, Brussels, Lisbon, etc.
-
We are 100% independent. We never accepted money from advertisers or commissions from vendors, and are not affiliated with any financial service company. This means that we built our success exclusively on the quality of our research and the satisfaction of our readers.
-
We know (and love) European companies. In large part because they are (typically) less volatile than their american counterparts and that they (generally) offer greater dividends. Both those aspects notably improve risk management and portfolio robustness.
Now, for some less-known facts and quirks about us:
-
We actually started out in 2016 as a French-speaking publication, called “L’Investisseur Actif”. Over the years, as our readership grew increasingly international, we progressively transitioned to the English-first structure.
-
Similarly, we were not purely focused on Europe when we launched. Our selections also included American stocks. Here again, experience showed that our readers had an appetitie for diversified European companies, so we made it our niche.
