OUR INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

High-Conviction Microcap Investing with Downside Protection

The Prime Value Microcap Fund provides investors with access to part of the stock market where some of the highest growth companies reside yet are also least researched – Australian and New Zealand listed companies typically with a market capitalisation of $500 million and below.

By focusing on higher-quality and avoiding more speculative businesses, the Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX Small Industrials Accumulation Index while managing downside risk. It’s a high-conviction, long-only strategy backed by deep, fundamental research and direct company engagement.

Designed for investors seeking medium to long-term capital growth, the Fund is best suited to those with a higher risk appetite and a long-term outlook.
