Superhero: Sidekick

Will active investing trump passive investing this year?

Andrew Smith, a seasoned Portfolio Manager at Perennial Partners with over 20 years of experience, certainly thinks so – especially when it comes to ASX small caps.

Investing in small caps is a high-risk, high-reward game. The ride can be wild but those who know how to spot hidden gems before they take off can potentially reap serious rewards. 

That’s exactly what Perennial Partners has been doing for years – uncovering undervalued companies before the rest of the market catches on.

In this episode, we get to learn directly from Andrew about:

• How Perennial, one of Australia’s active fund managers, identifies promising small-cap opportunities
• The challenges and rewards of investing in small and microcaps
• Active vs. passive investing and why Perennial takes a hands-on approach
• When fund managers decide to buy and sell
• How Andrew got into portfolio management
• What Andrew thinks makes a great investor and what lessons can everyday investors learn

• How the future is looking for BHP amidst the global movement towards decarbonisation, renewable energy and green metals
