Small Caps

Long-term capital growth through specialist small cap investing

Our approach

Small caps offer access to a broader and less efficiently priced universe than large-cap equities. With fewer analysts covering many companies, active investors have greater opportunities to uncover overlooked businesses and generate long-term alpha. They can also provide valuable diversification within equity portfolios, helping investors look beyond the market's largest companies.

Small-cap investing is one of our longest-standing investment capabilities. For more than three decades, our specialist team has built deep company knowledge through fundamental research, long-term relationships and active ownership.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
