Objective and Investment Policy
Objective
The objective of The European Investment Trust plc is to achieve long-term
capital growth through a diversified portfolio of Continental European
securities.
Investment Policy
The Board believes that investment in the diverse and increasingly accessible
markets of this region provides opportunities for capital growth over the long
term. At the same time it considers the structure of the Company as a UK listed
investment trust, with a fixed capital and an independent Board of Directors,
to be well suited to investors seeking longer-term returns.
The Board recognises that investment in some European countries can be riskier
than in others. Investment risks are diversified through holding a wide range
of securities in different countries and industrial sectors. No more than 10%
of the value of the portfolio in aggregate may be held in securities in those
countries which are not included in the FTSE All-World European indices.
The Board has the authority to hedge the Company's exposure to movements in the
rate of exchange of currencies, principally the euro, in which the Company's
investments are denominated, against sterling, its reporting currency. However,
it is not generally the Board's practice to do this and the portfolio is not
currently hedged.
No investments in unquoted stocks can be made without the prior approval of the
Board. The level of gearing within the portfolio is agreed by the Board and
should not exceed 20% in normal market conditions.
No more than 10% of the total assets of the Company may be invested in other
listed investment companies (including investment trusts) except in such other
investment companies which themselves have stated that they will invest no more
than 15% of their total assets in other listed investment companies, in which
case the limit is 15%.
The Investment Manager's compliance with the limits set out in the investment
policy is monitored by the Board.
Investment Manager's Review
Results
The net asset value per share at the Company's half-year end of 31 March 2012
was 610.08p, an increase of 9.0% on the net asset value per share at 30
September 2011 of 559.78p. After including the special and final dividends
totalling 16.0p per share which were paid in January 2012, the total return per
share was 12.0% for the six month period. The total return from the FTSE
All-World Europe ex UK Index in sterling was 13.7%.
Share Price and Discount
During the six months to 31 March 2012 the Company's share price increased by
13.9% from 462.5p to 527p. The share price discount to net asset value narrowed
during the period under review from 17.4% to 13.6%. During the six month period
the Company bought back and cancelled 331,377 shares at a total cost of
£1,676,000, with the shares bought back representing 0.8% of the share capital
at the beginning of the Company's financial year on 1 October 2011.
Revenue
The net revenue return per share in the six months to 31 March 2012 was 1.03p.
This was a marginal increase on the net revenue return of 0.98p in the six
months to 31 March 2011. Shareholders should note that the revenue return for
the half-year is not indicative of the full year return as many European
companies pay their dividends between April and September while expenses are
incurred on a more even basis throughout the Company's financial year.
Economic and Market Overview
The pattern of the last six months broadly followed the pattern of the last few
years as regards the crisis in the eurozone, namely relief followed by concern
in a repetitive cycle. The relief came from the liquidity operations, the Long
Term Refinancing Operation, mounted by the European Central Bank in December
2011 and February 2012, which gives eurozone banks some breathing space to
address liquidity issues. The rally which followed this measure has more
recently been replaced by concern over the impact of austerity programs,
specifically in Spain but also elsewhere throughout Europe. The structural
problems in European economies and how to address them continue to bring
political change, with Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Greece already
experiencing changes of administration.
Portfolio Strategy
In our last Annual Report I referred to the balanced portfolio strategy being
followed. This resulted in investing in a number of higher quality companies
where growth in profits, under most economic scenarios, is more visible. It
also meant investing in companies which would meet the definition of 'unloved',
where short-term prospects may look challenging but longer-term valuations look
compelling.
Market movements over the last six months have extended the valuation gap
between the higher quality companies and the more out of favour companies. This
means that the likely direction of travel for the portfolio will be to continue
to take profits gradually in the former category and re-invest in the latter.
By way of example, in February we invested in ArcelorMittal, the world's
largest steel maker. The shares are trading over 70% below cyclical highs and
the valuation implies activity levels appropriate to an economic depression.
This looks too pessimistic and, should capacity utilisation normalise, the
company will be trading on a multiple of only 4 or 5 times earnings. Predicting
when this will be recognised by the market is more challenging, but we would
expect this to happen in a 3-5 year time horizon.
Outlook
The thesis of Europe stumbling from one mini crisis to another prior to
resolving its structural problems is still intact. This is likely to mean that
there will continue to be market volatility. We intend to deploy our
disciplined long-term investment approach in the knowledge that this is a
method which has delivered good long-term returns to investors.
Your portfolio remains fully invested. The gearing facility has not yet been
drawn down, as we await an appropriate opportunity.

9. Financial information
The financial information for the six months to 31 March 2012 and for the six
months to 31 March 2011 has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's
Auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board guidance on such reviews. The
financial information contained in this report does not constitute statutory
accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The latest published audited financial statements which have been delivered to
the Registrar of Companies are for the year ended 30 September 2011; the report
of the independent auditors thereon was unqualified and did not contain a
statement under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. The information for the
year ended 30 September 2011 is an extract from those financial statements.
10. Status of the Company
It is the intention of the Directors to conduct the affairs of the Company so
that it continues to satisfy the conditions for approval as an investment trust
company as set out in Sections 1158 and 1159 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.
11. Going concern
The Company's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its
future development, performance and financial performance, are set out in the
Investment Manager's Review and Directors' Statements contained in the
Half-Yearly Financial Report. The Company's principal risks are investment and
strategy risk, discount volatility risk, market risk (comprising interest rate
risk, currency risk and other price risk), liquidity risk, credit risk, gearing
risk, regulatory risk, operational risk and financial risk. The Company's
assets consist principally of a diversified portfolio of listed European equity
shares, which in most circumstances are realisable within a short period of
time and exceed its liabilities by a significant amount. The Directors have
concluded that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they have adopted the
going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.
12. Related party transactions
There were no related party transactions during the period. Under the AIC SORP
issued in January 2009 the Investment Manager is not considered to be a related
party of the Company.

investment objective of the Company will be met. The levels of, and reliefs
from, taxation may change.

to future events that are beyond the Company's control. As a result, the
Company's actual future financial condition, performance and results may differ
materially from the plans, goals and expectations set forth in the Company's
forward looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the
forward looking statements contained within this Half-Yearly Financial Report
or any other forward looking statements it makes.
