If there is one request that we repeatedly receive from our audience, it’s that you want more content on the wonderful, often under-covered world of microcaps.

It makes cents (literally). These stocks usually fly under the radar of the masses, providing diligent investors the opportunity to invest in mispriced stocks and generate capital growth over the long term.

However, investing in this area of the market comes with its risks. In 2022, the S&P/ASX Emerging Companies Index suffered a brutal blow (it fell 24%), with one Livewire contributor describing it as a "killing field". This year, however, the Index has lifted around 3%, but it hasn't been a tide that has lifted all boats.

So in today's episode, we're joined by microcap expert Jessica Farr-Jones, the portfolio manager of the Regal Emerging Companies Strategy*. She shares why she is feeling bullish about the opportunity in small and microcaps, some of the stocks that have her excited, as well as a deep dive into what small and microcap investors can expect this reporting season.

And yes, if the last name sounds familiar, she’s the daughter of Wallabies great Nick Farr-Jones, who now also works in funds management as a mining specialist.

*Note: This strategy is only available to wholesale investors. However, around 25% of the Regal listed investment trust (ASX: RF1) is exposed to the Emerging Companies Strategy, which investors can access on the ASX.

Bitcoin is the one asset that you should trade! Due to the extreme volatility. Also HBAR is the future of DLT.

Bitcoin is an open source algorithm you can copy and paste that's why there are over 20, 000 alt coins. There is nothing scarce about an open source algorithm.
