Vantage: UK small caps – an overlooked opportunity ready for recovery, an interview with Richard Penny

In this interview, Richard Penny, fund manager at Oberon Investments (managing UK Core, UK Special Situations and UK Smaller Companies), shares why UK small caps present a compelling opportunity right now. With UK small caps down 50% since September 2021 (twice as bad as during the global financial crisis), Richard explains how this creates an asymmetric risk opportunity for contrarian investors seeking growth at value prices. He illustrates this by discussing holdings like Zegona Communications (LSE: ZEG, market capitalisation £5.5bn) and BATM Advanced Communications (LSE: BVC, market capitalisation £66m).

Watch the full interview to understand why small caps tend to outperform over time, the characteristics of multi-bagger stocks and how Richard’s ‘GRASP’ approach has delivered 4% annual outperformance over 20 years.
