Wednesday webinar at one: Global small-caps – Underappreciated and worth investing

Wednesday 06 July 2022 | 13:00 - 13:40 | Webinar

This session has been organised by CFA UK's Investment Practices working group.

Despite research showing compelling absolute and relative risk-adjusted returns versus their large and mid-cap developed and emerging market counterparts, small-cap stocks appear to be an underappreciated asset class.

In this webinar, Steven Lipper, CFA, will describe how global small-caps have performed under different market regimes and provide some observations on their suitability in the current environment. He will also discuss possible small-cap investment approaches, and in particular why focusing on quality companies within global small-caps can be fruitful.

Where recordings are made, these are a member benefit that are accessed through the member-only platform, CFA UK Discover.
