How we invest

We specialise in smaller Australian companies and seek to add value for investors through constructing portfolios of differentiated, under-the-radar, highly prospective nano, micro and small-cap equities.

Small, nimble, and prospective

Our strategy is to construct portfolios of high quality smaller company investment opportunities. We specialise in companies with market values below $500m, and in particular, below $100m. Due to their size size and relatively low liquidity, these smaller companies often fall outside the investment universe of many investors, and therefore are more likely to be undervalued and highly prospective.

Focused and disciplined investment process

To identify the most compelling opportunities, we screen and continually monitor our investment universe, seeking to consolidate the vast opportunity set down to a broad watchlist of the most interesting of these. Across the various attributes of business quality, management quality, growth potential, economic position, balance sheet strength, and durable competitive position, we then seek to construct and manage portfolios of the most compelling 30-40 of these ideas.

Multi-Thematic approach

We emphasise a multi-thematic investment approach with multiple ways to win. Opportunities may be categorized thematically as: growing companies with a history of profitability but on still-low multiples; growing companies that are not presently profitable but have potential yet to be recognised in the valuations; and (to a lesser degree) companies trading at meaningful discounts to underlying asset values.

Our Funds

Within the Australian smaller companies universe we manage two funds. DMX Capital Partners Limited with a focus on sub-$100m companies, and DMX Australian Shares Fund which includes those same very small companies but operates with a broader mandate and can invest up the market capitalisation spectrum.

DMX Capital Partners Limited

Investment Objective

Dual objective to provide genuinely differentiated investment exposure to a difficult to access asset class, and generate strong absolute returns for investors over the medium to long term.

Strategic overview

• Thematically diverse portfolio of (typically) 30-40 ASX-listed (and to a small degree, unlisted) smaller companies that have yet to be recognised by the market and therefore offer asymmetrical upside potential
• Primarily focused on sub-$100m market capitalisation companies
• Since inception in 2015, DMX Capital Partners has returned in excess of 20% pa post-fees, pre-tax. This has been achieved in ways that are often different from other funds or investments
