Is the EURO STOXX 50 a good investment?

That depends on your investment goals. The index includes Europe's largest blue-chip companies, which can provide stability and steady growth. However, factors like Eurozone economic performance, interest rates, geopolitical issues, trade and global market conditions will impact returns. Remember that every investment comes with risk.

How has the EURO STOXX 50 performed recently?

The share price of funds tracking the EURO STOXX 50 had a solid run in 2024, returning roughly 11%, but this did lag behind some other markets like the US. However, the index had a particularly strong start to 2025, with many investors looking to rotate out of US stocks.

Does the EURO STOXX 50 include UK companies?

No. The EURO STOXX 50 tracks firms in the Eurozone and companies in the UK deal in pounds, so UK shares were never included in the index.
