Beyond the ASX 50: The Case for Small(er) Caps

In this episode, host Darren Connolly speaks with Robert Miller of NAOS Asset Management about the compelling case for Australian small-cap investing. Robert explains why tomorrow's large-cap leaders are often hiding in today's under-researched small-cap universe — offering growth, multiple expansion, and sector diversity that the bank-and-mining-dominated top-end of town can't provide. Robert walks through NAOS’ investment process, how passive investing is creating mispricing opportunities, and high-conviction themes including AI-resilient enterprise software, and the Brisbane 2032 Olympic infrastructure build-up. Essential viewing for investors looking for high-conviction exposure beyond the crowded index.
