MEAG EuroInvest A wins at the 2008 Feri Fund Awards

Thanks to its continuous high performance, the MEAG EuroInvest A placed first in the Equities Europe category at the 2008 Feri Fund Awards. The MEAG EuroInvest A returned 142.7 % over five years, equating to a yearly average of 19.4 % up to 31 October 2007.

Managing Director Dieter Wolf explains: "MEAG's Dynamic Value investment concept combines the advantages of a cyclical strategy with those of an anticyclical one. For the investor this means less risk and better long-term returns than with comparable products." MEAG fund manager Thilo Schmidt adds: "The lasting success is the result of the perfect collaboration between the Research, Portfolio Management and Risk Controlling departments". But the consistency within the management also plays a part, with Schmidt himself being part of the original team that issued the MEAG EuroInvest in 1998.

The European equity fund MEAG EuroInvest A pursues a largely value-oriented investment style. MEAG added the Relative Strength model to the original management approach, and further developed it into its own "Dynamic Value" concept. The fund management selects equities from the European investment universe that allow an above-average return to be expected, that appear to be undervalued, and that bring with them the potential for an increase in value. Aspects of stock exchange psychology are also taken into account in the selection process, as is the momentum, i.e. the duration and dynamism of the past price movements. In doing so, only equities with an attractive outperformance over the market as a whole make their way into the MEAG EuroInvest A.

Feri awarded prizes in twelve categories for funds with an attractive performance, a suitable risk/opportunity ratio and professional management. The Feri Fund Awards help investors find the right funds for their needs by way of a profound evaluation process. The best five funds in each category are chosen from the many good funds on the market. Of these, one winner receives the Feri Fund Award.
The MEAG EuroInvest A (ISIN: DE0009754333) was issued on 30 March 1998. On 31 October 2007, it contained Euro 539 million in assets.
