Global small caps – preparing for a new cycle

Nish Patel
Director, Portfolio Manager, Global Small Cap
Watch our webinar with Nish Patel, Lead Portfolio Manager for The Global Smaller Companies Trust and Darius McDermott, Managing Director at Chelsea Financial Services as they discuss what the future may look like for Global Small caps.

Key takeaways
  • After a period of underperformance smaller companies are poised for a bounce
  • When the upswing commences, historically the cycle has been long
  • The pivot is due just as we lean deeper into the extensive research resources of Columbia Threadneedle
  • A truly global portfolio with exposure to developed and developing markets
  • And genuinely small-cap, not a blend with medium-cap
  • £860m of net assets and a 53-year track record of growing the dividend
