Investing in Small Cap Value
Investing in small cap value stocks involves looking for businesses that are significantly mispriced and misunderstood. The sell side tends to overlook this area, providing an opportunity for fundamental edge in small caps. The focus is on businesses with market caps of one to three billion dollars, primarily in the Russell 2000 index. These companies may not be well-known household names, but they offer potential for deep research to add value. The key is to identify businesses that are going through inflections in their products or services, and have strong unit economics and free cash flow. Active management and a rifle approach are crucial to avoid value traps and gain an asymmetric return.
