Joel Fleming: 7 reasons to invest in microcaps

Where inefficiencies drive long-term returns.

17 Jun 2026

Australian microcaps remain one of the equity market's most inefficient segments, which is exactly why disciplined investors should be paying attention. Joel Fleming (Portfolio Manager, Microcap Equities) walks through seven compelling reasons to consider investing in microcaps.

Microcap equities offer access to a vast, under-researched part of the market where limited coverage, passive flows and capacity constraints create persistent inefficiencies. In this sit down with Tim Mugglestone (Senior Distribution Manager), Joel Fleming explains why this overlooked segment is often where new themes and emerging industries first appear, giving investors the opportunity to uncover mispriced growth early.

Capturing that opportunity requires a disciplined, research-led approach to investing. For Joel, the importance of diversification, position sizing and focusing on fundamentally sound businesses to manage volatility is key. For those willing to do the work, microcaps can offer a compelling mix of innovation, inefficiency and long-term return potential.
