Micro Caps Under The Microscope

26 November 2012
In this week’s episode:

According to stock-market historians, you can beat the main market by a wide margin by investing in the smallest listed companies. Guy Feld, senior fund manager at Hargreave Hale, should know -- he co-manages the Marlborough UK Micro-Cap Growth Fund, where he spends his days researching, meeting with, and investing in tiny companies that are barely a blip on the typical fund manager's radar. Discover how he researches these micro-cap companies, and why he thinks this sector always presents the best opportunities for investors, in this episode of Money Talk with Owain Bennallack.

The podcast isn't on the page that the iTunes link takes you to...

Dreadful sound quality. Bring back David K. At least he takes the bucket off his head before he records his podcasts.

Sorry MF, this is the first time I've had to bail out after a minute.

Booooo!

Hi

Apologies for the poor sound quality in this podcast. We had a few technical problems, which have now been fixed.

Yes, total mix up with the microphone I'm afraid. Apologies.

I'd definitely consider cranking up the volume and pushing on to listen to Guy though, especially if you're interested in tech-related small caps. He knows his stuff! :)

(Or there's the transcript as Sonia says, of course).

OK, thanks -- Apologies if I sounded rude about the podcast, but I will give it another go or read the transcript.

In general, the MF podcasts are excellent and instructive.

Cheers drewla -- and I felt similar when I realised we'd messed up the sound!

About the show

MoneyTalk is a podcast from The Motley Fool (UK). Hosted by David Kuo, it’s a lively roundtable discussion where Fool writers and guests from the world of money thrash out the financial issues of the day.

Join us as we take an irreverent look at anything and everything to do with shares – from how to pick your first share to how to manage your own pension to what mini skirts have to do with Britain's economy (quite a lot, according to David).

From quick tips on how to tidy up a wayward portfolio to in depth discussions with industry experts, MoneyTalk tackles a different topic every week.

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
