Microequities is a specialised Microcap asset manager. Established in 2005 as an independent investment research house devoted to Microcaps. Microequities expanded into funds management in early 2009 by launching our flagship Deep Value Microcap Fund. 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. Carlos Gil (CIO) / [email protected] / +61 2 9231 6169
