Hello.
Are there people here who invest in European equities? Because coming from France, I have extra fees on British equities.
In the same way, does the Small Cap Value Report always present British stocks and never European stocks? I like the concept of stockopedia but I have the impression that it is exclusively for British clients.
Thank you for your answer.

Yes there are people here who invest in Europe, I hold about 5 European shares, was higher but I have sold some.
Yes it is British based site, so most invest in the UK but quite a few do invest in the US markets. The SCVR is based on UK small caps.
You can still use Stockopedia for European shares, I have not checked recently but a few years ago it was better performing than on UK shares. You can check the performance figures.
Hi Marco
Despite being British and mainly investing in British shares, I do hold some European shares.
I have found quite a few gems over the years and hold a few right now too, including
There are a few strange ones there, but nearly all of them have proven profitable for me.
I have found nearly all of them through Stockopedia.
So whilst Stockopedia is UK-centric, I see no reason why it can't be used by those with a more European focus.
As an aside, I still sincerely hope that Stockopedia publishes more articles on European listed companies. Many have English websites (including Investor Relations pages) so I see no reason why this can't happen.
Cheers

thank you for your testimonials i really appreciate it.
I'll try to find out how I can benefit from stockopedia.
Hello Marco,
Do you have the optional European subscription to Stockopedia ?
If you click on the silhouette at the top right of the screen and look under "Personal Settings", "Subscription and Billing" you will see European subscription is an optional extra. I've not tried it myself, however I'd imagine it will give you full screening and stock reports for European shares similar to UK.
I'd guess the authors for SCVR are specialists in UK shares and the universe of shares is just too large to cover Europe in the same level of detail!! So feel free to start some threads on Euro shares - I'm sure many people would welcome the discussion.

I had the European section for over a year, it was same as the UK one apart from the shares, although some information was missing such as directors dealings and some quarterly updates were also missing. The reason I stopped it was because of the extra fees my UK broker HL charged at the time was 1.5% forex and many of the shares I could not buy either.
Do you have to buy the UK and the Europe ones or can you just have Europe?
I found some of Guru screens worked well on European shares, the perform was generally better than the UK but that was about 2 years ago.
My best 3 shares were MIPS, EUZ and Bouvet, I have just sold MIPS but still hold EUZ and Bouvet. Washtec and Delta also did well.
If you search you should find some older posts that were on European shares.
Hi Marco951
Like the others posting on your thread, I am in the UK but invest using Stockopedia in UK, Europe, US and Canada. Through the different subscriptions I have.
One approach I use to access the European markets, which I am not at all familiar with, is that I examine the top ten holdings of some of the strongest UK-based Investment Trusts (and/or Unit Trusts) who do invest into European stocks.
For example the top ten from Baillie Gifford European Growth Trust (LON:BGEU) or Blackrock Greater Europe Investment Trust (LON:BRGE) (there are many other good European trust options to also examine).
Through this approach I have come across several very attractive European companies which I now invest in. I used Stockopedia to investigate these to help make my buy decisions and to run my European portion of my portfolio.
So, yes Stockopedia is a great asset for investing in European shares.

Howard
La valeur de Stockopedia provient des statistiques comptables et la présentation visuelle des postes du bilan. Les textes écrits sont souvent une distraction, une opinion facile mais qu'on n'a pas formé soi-même. Je me suis abonné à trois régions et mes résultats sont aussi bons dans celles sans écrivain-commentateur parce que je suis obligé à faire tout le travail moi-même.
hello PLS1nve5t and herbie47, yes I have suscribed for European and US region.
I was just surprised to see that the subscribers were almost exclusively British people. But I think I'll be able to make my butter on European stocks, more accessible for me.
Thanks for your comments
Hello Howard
Your approach is original, surely very interesting for the biggest capitals. I think I have a more speculative/risky vision.
Thank you for sharing
Marco
Salut aflash oui je pensais un peu comme toi, merci de me le confirmer. Bonne continuation
