Equity investors, quite rightly, are looking beyond large caps for opportunity. There's only so much Commonwealth Bank and Magnificent 7 you can have in a portfolio before things start to look top-heavy.
But moving down the market cap spectrum does not have to equal higher risk - not if you know where to look.
Whilst small-cap names are often under-researched and overlooked, this can create opportunities for outsized returns. The key is to have a process for unearthing the mispriced or underappreciated gems.
So, in this episode, Datt Capital’s Emanuel Datt and Yarra Capital’s Michael Steele share what they are looking for when mining the small-cap space, before putting their method to the test by analysing three small-cap names.
For good measure, they each share a diamond in the rough small cap that they are backing right now.

When you're looking to buy something, one of the first things you ask is: what's the quality like?
No one wants something that’ll fall apart or blow up in their face. One of the big bugbears is reliability - most people want something that’s built to last when they’re putting their money into it.
Same goes for stocks. The word quality gets bandied around a lot, and while there’s a broadly accepted definition, it can mean different things to different people.
Different strokes for different folks.
To unpack what it means for those hunting in the small and mid-cap space, Livewire's Anna Dadic is joined by Will Granger from Airlie Funds Management and Marc Whittaker from IML.
In this episode, they will discuss why quality becomes so significant in market turbulence and share their current favourite high-quality small and mid-cap stock names.

Buy Hold Sell: 5 Aussie companies ahead of the competition (and 2 big buys)

Friday May 09, 2025
When markets take a dive like they did recently, the use of the word "quality" increases dramatically.
Suddenly, everyone is hunting quality stocks that can withstand whatever is being thrown at them by the economy and by the market.
But what exactly is quality? Well, it has many faces, but companies with strong financial metrics, like high return on equity and strong competitive advantages, are high on the list.
So, which ASX companies exhibit these traits and how do the pros rate them?
To answer those questions, Livewire's Anna Dadic was joined by Will Granger from Airlie Funds Management and Marc Whittaker from IML.
In this episode they analyse five ASX names that fit the bill and each outline the bull case on one company they believe is set to thrive.

Buy Hold Sell: 7 ASX names set to thrive amid lower rates
Friday May 02, 2025
Friday May 02, 2025
The RBA meets next month, with the decision due on 20 May. Regardless of what happens with the election and despite this week's slightly hotter-than-expected inflation print, a rate cut is "locked in" according to Westpac. Many in the market agree.
And whilst some believe it is the last cut we could get for a while, the market is pricing in up to three more cuts for the rest of the year.
Should these cuts materialise, there is a cohort of capital-intensive and consumer-facing businesses that could benefit from lower debt costs and increased disposable income. Of course, this outlook needs to be balanced against the reason for the cuts in the first place - a slowing economy.
To help us understand where that balance lies, guest host Matthew Kidman of Centennial Asset Management was joined by Matthew Haupt from Wilson Asset Management and Tim Johnston from Tyndall Asset Management.
Together, they run the ruler over no less than five ASX companies that could benefit from lower rates. For good measure, they share a name that they believe will be a winner in a lower rate environment.

With more rate cuts on the way, how are the pros adjusting portfolios?

Monday Apr 28, 2025
With inflation finally heading in the right direction and Trump’s trade war throwing global markets a curveball, investors are laser-focused on central banks, and the RBA is firmly in the spotlight.
A second rate cut is widely expected in May, with markets pricing in a 98% chance. So, how are the pros positioning their portfolios in a falling rate environment?
To unpack this and more, Matthew Haupt from Wilson Asset Management and Tim Johnston from Tyndall Asset Management sat down with special guest host, Matthew Kidman from Centennial Asset Management.
In the episode, they dig into how lower interest rates influence portfolio construction, which sectors stand to benefit, and how professionals assess the impact on capital-intensive or heavily indebted companies.
They also explore the growing importance of dividends and yield in a low-rate environment, and, of course, share one rate-sensitive stock they believe the market is currently mispricing.
If you’re looking to sharpen your strategy in a shifting rate environment, this episode is not to be missed.

Friday Apr 25, 2025
With one rate cut already in the books and another expected from the RBA in May, the landscape for Australian equities is shifting fast.
Markets are now pricing in as many as three additional cuts over the next year, raising a critical question for investors: which ASX stocks stand to benefit - and which could struggle - as interest rates continue to fall?
In this episode, Centennial Asset Management's Matthew Kidman hosts Matthew Haupt from Wilson Asset Management and Tim Johnston from Tyndall Asset Management - two investors with deep insights into how monetary policy moves ripple through the ASX.
They reveal which companies they believe are poised to outperform in a falling rate environment, which ones are worth avoiding, and how they’re positioning their portfolios for what could be a very different 12 months ahead.

Buy Hold Sell: With gold at $5000, where are the best opportunities?
Thursday Apr 17, 2025
Thursday Apr 17, 2025
The recent surge in gold prices has been described by some as a once-in-40-year gift for investors.
It has been a perfect backdrop for the precious metal, driven by a weaker US dollar, escalating US-China trade tensions, and growing concerns about global economic stability.
Gold equities have also participated in the rally, although not quite to the same extent as the underlying commodity.
So, where to for gold from here and which companies are best placed to capitalise? To help answer those questions, Livewire’s James Marlay was joined by Ben Richards from Seneca Financial Solutions and Daniel Sullivan from Janus Henderson.
Ben and Dan share their perspectives on the current gold market dynamics, where they are finding value amongst explorers, developers and producers, and – most importantly, which stocks they like.
