Montanaro European Smaller Companies - Update from QuotedData

6(th) June 2025

Montanaro European Smaller Companies - Turning tariffs into opportunity: MTE's
edge

In an environment of heightened volatility triggered by Trump's tariff
policies, European stocks have actually fared relatively well. Germany's plans
to boost defence and infrastructure spending, coupled with falling interest
rates, helped create more positive sentiment towards the region. Montanaro
European Smaller Companies's (MTE's) high-conviction portfolio of good-quality
growth stocks seems well placed to navigate this period of uncertainty. Low
valuations relative to history enhance the upside potential.

MTE's board has taken steps to enhance shareholder value through regular 5%
tender offers (offers to buy back a portion of shares at a fixed price that is
usually close to NAV to reduce the discount and provide liquidity to
shareholders that wish to exit), a single-digit discount policy, and lower
management fees. Against a backdrop where European small cap equities remain
significantly undervalued relative to large-cap equities - despite offering
superior earnings growth - MTE looks well positioned.
