The Paradice Australian Small Cap Opportunities strategy was launched in 2023. It looks to build on the successful small cap investment ethos at Paradice, but with a limited Funds Under Management (FUM) to help maximise investor returns through alpha generation.<\/p>

This ethos relates to our view that equity markets are inefficient and therefore offer excellent investment opportunities over time. The inefficiencies arise due to excesses in investor emotion, a focus on short term investment horizons and, on occasion, a sole focus on one aspect of a company\u2019s financial health \u2013 its profit and loss statement.<\/p>

We believe a specific focus on cashflow and on the medium-term investment case for a company is critical – and that being able to look through short term earnings and market volatility is an important source of alpha.<\/p>

We look for quality businesses that are not overly complex in nature, with strong balance sheets, great management teams and Boards. We diligently implement our investment process which has a strong focus on risk, and supplement this with an extensive company visitation program.<\/p>

The strategy typically invests in 30-70 companies listed outside of the S&P\/ASX 100, providing investors with an exposure to a diversified portfolio of emerging Australian businesses.<\/p>

The strategy is implemented by two experienced portfolio manager\/analysts in Sam Theodore and Michael Peet \u2013 both of whom have strong alignment to the investment performance of the strategy through the remuneration model and fund co-investment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
