Microcaps Are the Perfect Asset Class for a Quant Investor
Sally Kohn: I don't know if a lot of people realize that you're a micre cap fan. For me, as a quant, they're the perfect asset class for a quant because a virtually nobody follows them. Many of the stocks that we have in our microcap portfolio have no analyst coverage at all. So nobody is looking at the numbers. Almost zero institutional investors. It's hard to make money if you're offering a microcap fund,. Because literally, your capacity is really super constrained if you want to trade these in size. In the most liquid category where we find most microcapulary at about 220 basis points of market impact.
