FE Trustnet verdict
Overall, performing better than the peer group composite. Over a long track record, the manager has, period by period, consistently managed to outperform the peer group. Good stockpicking has had a material positive impact on results, which have tended to be similar in rising and falling markets.
Manager profile
Alex Darwall trained as an investment analyst with de Zoete & Bevan (BZW) before moving to Enskilda Securities in Paris in 1987, where he became Head of French Equity Research. He joined Goldman Sachs in London in 1992, again as a French equity analyst. In 1995, Alex moved to Jupiter to run the European portion of a number of segregated pension fund accounts, subsequently taking responsibility for other accounts including County Council pension funds (European portion). At the start of 1999, he took over the management of the Jupiter European Investment Trust, and subsequently the roll over vehicle, the Jupiter European Opportunities Trust which launched in November 2000. In January 2001, Alex became Fund Manager for the Jupiter European Fund and is head of Jupiter’s European Equity Team. Alex has managed the Jupiter European Growth SICAV since April 2007.

Performance vs peer group composite: Alexander Darwall
How a manager matches up against his peers gives you some idea of how talented he is. Very few managers perform equally well in rising and falling markets, so knowing which type of market a manager is capable of performing well within is also important.
