Hooper says Eurogrowth is the first opportunity for Australian investors to invest in a listed diversified portfolio of European small cap stocks. Eurogrowth defines small caps as stocks with market capitalisation of up to A$1.5 billion.
The investments will be managed by UK based investment manager, Kempen Capital Management, a subsidiary of the Amsterdam-based Dutch bank, Kempen & co. Castle Capital Management (CCM) will undertake the day to day running of Eurogrowth.
Eurogrowth is open to investors until June 16 2000. A total of 200 million shares in Eurogrowth will be offered at $0.50 per share.
