MANTIS IN THE PRESS
Top Australian fund managers Tim Canham and Wik Farweck are launching a new fund to invest in micro cap stocks through their business Balmoral Investors in partnership with Mantis Funds. The pair were previously fund managers at Colonial First State Global Asset Management and then First Sentier Investors. They have managed one of the largest micro-cap products in the market.
A fund will be launched to invest in micro-cap companies with a focus on those with a market value of less than $750m. The move comes with strong interest from private clients and their advisers in micro-cap investments.
“For too long micro caps have been seen as simply an addendum to small cap investing. We disagree with that and believe it is a very different skill set given the size, liquidity and capital constraints micro-cap companies face. We see this part of the market as very under-researched and below the radar of the passive investor cohort. Valuations are as attractive as I have seen across my career.”
