About the Investment Manager
Acorn Capital is a specialist small and emerging company investment manager, with a strong track record of managing investments.
Established in 1998, Acorn Capital believes that in-depth fundamental research, both at the sector and company level, is essential when investing in emerging companies.
Acorn Capital has one of the largest and most experienced specialist emerging company investment teams in Australia.
Investment philosophy
ACQ seeks to identify and exploit mispricing in the Australian listed microcap sector and also invests in attractive unlisted securities in order to generate outstanding long-term investment returns.
With relatively less research on the microcap sector, mispricing is more prevalent in this sector than large caps. Inefficient markets lead to opportunities to uncover investments that may provide greater returns superior to those available in the broader market. In addition, investments are sought that will provide impact investing.
Why invest in ACQ
ACQ’s portfolio provides an investor with access to a sector of the market (being Emerging/Microcap Companies, including private/unlisted opportunities) that are not typically available to retail investors. This presents a diversification opportunity for individual investors as well as access to a long-established research team.
