Overview

Despite widespread fears of a negative economic impact from the coronavirus outbreak and continued geo-political uncertainty, the current environment continues to present opportunities for global growth investors. This is the view of Greg Ise, Portfolio Manager at US-based WCM Investment Management.

Since launching in the US five years ago, WCM’s International Small Cap Growth strategy has delivered an average return of 22.7%* and annualised outperformance of over 10.9%*. What’s more, this strong performance has been consistent throughout market cycles.

The strategy is available for a limited time to wholesale Australian investors via the WCM International Small Cap Growth Fund (Managed Fund) (the Fund).

In this session you will learn:

  • Two stocks WCM has identified with continued long-term growth in their economic moat,
  • The most important factors to look for when selecting global growth companies,
  • How the portfolio has delivered such consistent outperformance throughout market cycles,
  • WCM’s unique strategy that has minimised losses in downward markets, while growing strongly in upward markets,
  • How the Fund gives Australian investors exposure to an asset class that has been historically hard to access.
