Small caps

Working with high quality small caps to create sustainable returns. That’s going further, together. We call it, Kom verder.

Objective

We aim to achieve long-term capital growth by building high-conviction portfolios of smaller, competitively-advantaged businesses able to create sustainable value for investors over the long term.

Philosophy

In our view, smaller companies:

are often overlooked, under-researched and under-valued;
can deliver sustainable long term growth by combining a focussed approach with leading positions in specific markets; and
offer more opportunities for investors to unlock value over the long term through active engagement with company management teams.

Approach

Our dedicated small-cap investment team follows a disciplined, repeatable process designed to:

select high-quality, small-cap businesses with attractive fundamentals, sustainable competitive advantages and strong leadership teams;
make investments in these companies at attractive entry point valuations; and
pursue a long-term owner mindset to build high-conviction, well-diversified portfolios

We deliver this approach with a global, European or Netherlands focus.

Discovering Small Caps

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, which has many meanings including ‘progress through collaboration’. This hands-on style encapsulates how we invest in promising smaller companies. And it’s what we’ve been doing for close to 30 years.

When we find the right companies, we get to know what makes their leaders tick and this deep understanding helps us build concentrated portfolios. In this way, we support, challenge and help small caps achieve their full potential.

Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, it means many things and it’s our business philosophy. It captures the way we work with clients but also the way we steer our investee companies to deliver shareholder value through active engagement.
