In this episode I chat with Jack Briggs, Portfolio Manager at Ellerston Capital, to unpack the world of micro, small and mid‑cap investing on the ASX. Jack explains how professionals analyse companies outside the ASX 100, why these sectors are often under‑researched, and how deep fundamental work can uncover opportunities the market has missed. We explore current themes including electrification, data centres, and the early impact of AI on software businesses - plus how Ellerston constructs a 25–40 stock portfolio with a clear margin‑of‑safety framework. If you want to understand how pros find growth before the crowd, this episode is for you.
