Imagine being able to invest your clients’ money, knowing exactly which shares are going to perform the best over five years.

Discovery Invest’s latest innovation, the Discovery Europe High Five Fund, offers investors a return linked to whichever five of Europe’s largest shares perform the best from a global portfolio of the 20 largest European equity shares, over a five-year period. At the end of the five-year term investors will receive an equal weighting of the five-year performance of these top five shares.

Capital protection

Investors are provided with capital protection of up to 40% for potential falls in the global portfolio. This provides investors with unlimited upside potential and some downside protection.
