PROFILES
EVENT ORGANISER
Why us? Microequities' investment managers and analysts operate uniquely within the Microcap
asset class. This asset class offers investors access to Australian companies with an attractive
growth profile. However, it also necessitates a systematic and process driven research approach
to investing. We are uniquely positioned within the Microcap asset class and posses research
capabilities, deep knowledge and experience within the Microcap space. Our value-growth
approach, coupled with a long term investment strategy, provides us with an investment ethos
that is particularly well suited to Microcap investing.
The Deep Value Microcap Fund: Launched in March 2009, is a high conviction, value growth
Fund that seeks to identify and invest in growing, profitable undervalued companies. The Fund
does not have a broad based approach to investment. It maintains concentrated holdings in what
we consider the most compelling companies within the Microcap asset class with the most
attractive risk/reward metrics. The fund has returned 83% since inception (net of fees) compared
to 43.12% for the All Ords Index.
