Hunting for 10-baggers. For many investors, that's what it is all about. Searching for those high-quality compounding companies that can turn each $1 invested into $10.

Our guest today has made a career of this pursuit. James Abela, portfolio manager at Fidelity, has a particular focus on small-and-mid cap companies and runs the Fidelity Global Future Leaders Active ETF (ASX: FCAP).

In our conversation today, we speak to James about:

• How small caps have held up in the current market environment
• James' 3-part framework for assessing the quality of companies
• How small caps move in phases, and where he likes to invest
• The things that James worries about in a portfolio
• Two stocks that James finds particularly interesting right now
