| Value investor | Strong fit | European banks often trade at attractive valuation multiples, appealing to income and value-focused portfolios. |

| Low-risk investor | Weak fit | The sector exposure introduces significant market and regulatory risk that may exceed the tolerance of low-risk investors. |
