Why Australian Mid Caps?
Demonstrated Outperformance
Mid Caps are quite often overlooked and underestimated by the market. Across multiple timeframes, Australian Mid-Caps have demonstrated strong returns, outperforming other market segments. Over a 10-year period Mid Caps have outperformed Large Caps by 1.7% p.a and Small Caps by 4.0% p.a*.
Diversification Benefits
Mid Caps offer meaningful diversification away from the dominant Banks and Resources sectors in the Australian share market. This is particularly valuable given the heightened concentration risk associated with the Big Four banks and the two major mining stocks.
Dynamic Market Exposure
The Mid Cap segment captures the “survival of the fittest” dynamic — benefiting from high-performing Small Caps graduating into the index, while also providing opportunities to invest in turnaround stories from former top 50 companies.

Q&A Video
Mid caps have long been overlooked, yet—as Paradice Investment Management’s Jordan Woods highlights— the mid cap index has historically delivered stronger performance than both small and large cap indices over several decades. Their advantage comes from a blend of earnings growth, broader sector diversity, and a steady mix of companies moving up from small cap status or down from the top 50.
In this video, hear from Portfolio Manager, Jordan Woods as he speaks with Livewire about why we believe this unique segment offers a compelling and attractive mix of businesses with the potential for growth. With forward earnings still looking solid, he shares why, in our view, the outlook for mid-caps remains as compelling as ever.**
