Event Description:
It is critically important to turn over all the rocks to find the best opportunities within the full equity universe. Global small-cap stocks can provide portfolios with returns and diversification from sources that are often overlooked. Ray Szutu, CFA, Portfolio Manager - Global Smaller Companies, at Foyston, Gordon & Payne Inc. (FGP) will discuss why this investment category is attractive and how to access it in a prudent way. Ray will expand upon the following three themes:
- The benefits of investing in small-cap stocks and the role they play in a diversified portfolio.
- Why the global small-cap market is less efficient and therefore ripe for alpha capture.
- How to overcome the challenges of investing in this market.
Note: This event is subsidized to the benefit of CFA members and candidates.
Formal business attire is recommended.
