A hallmark of a maturing bull market is the gradual evaporation of low-hanging fruit. As capitalization-weighted indices climb and valuations among larger-cap equities stretch toward historical extremes, the task of uncovering true mispricings requires investors to look beyond familiar horizons.

Since the start of 2026, a healthy rotation has begun to breathe life into the small-cap segment, prompting many of our favorite names to experience significant price appreciation and multiple expansion. Yet, as the broader small-cap universe climbs, the most compelling opportunities have quietly floated to the top of our watchlists in an often-overlooked corner of the market: the micro-company space.

Because these businesses are virtually invisible to Wall Street analysts and institutional funds—which are restricted by liquidity constraints—they trade in highly inefficient environments. When a micro-cap experiences a fundamental turnaround or taps into a massive secular tailwind, its share price does not adjust gradually; it moves violently as the market belatedly wakes up to its true earnings power.

Our approach to these diminutive enterprises is grounded strictly in our Quality-GARP (Quality and Growth At a Reasonable Price) methodology. We do not participate in speculative, debt-laden "pre-revenue" biotechnology plays or unproven start-ups.
