With the Magnificent 7 dominating equity markets last year, investors are now exploring alternative sources of growth, not least within Smaller Companies.

Despite being perceived as higher risk, history shows that Smaller Companies can deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns over time.

Considering these points in current market conditions, this is why we believe now is the time to bring Smaller Companies into focus.

Historically, EM performance has been tied to the global investment cycle, with many companies producing tangible goods based in these regions. Now, a new global capital expenditure (capex) cycle, driven by technology, infrastructure, and growing domestic demand is creating both opportunities and risks for EM companies.

To navigate this opportunity and risk we believe an all-cap core approach that prioritises fundamental company research with deep cash flow analysis through an income lens has strong merit.  Join us to hear from Matt Williams, Senior Investment Director as he discusses why investors should consider diversifying into emerging markets to capture this opportunity.
