You’ll need your Investaor code (IVC) printed on your share certificate in order to register.

When making an investment in an investment trust you are buying shares in a company that is listed on a stock exchange. The price of the shares will be determined by supply and demand. Consequently, the share price of an investment trust may be higher or lower than the underlying net asset value of the investments in its portfolio and there can be no certainty that there will be liquidity in the shares.

Market and exchange rate movements can cause the value of an investment to fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than originally invested.

European Opportunities Trust PLC can borrow money and use it to invest, also known as ‘gearing’ or ‘leveraging’. The risk with gearing is that when the borrowed money has to be repaid the value of the Trust’s investments may not be enough to repay it and any interest and the Trust will make a loss. If the value of the Trust’s investments falls, any invested borrowings will increase the value of this loss. Investors may get back nothing at all if the fall in value is sufficiently large. The company invests in a small number of holdings and as such carries more risk than companies which invest across a larger number of holdings. The company invests mainly in shares and it is likely to experience fluctuations in price which are larger than companies that invest only in bonds and/or cash.
