Summary

In this episode I chat with Jack Briggs , Portfolio Manager at Ellerston Capital , to unpack the world of micro, small and mid‑cap investing on the ASX. Jack explains how professionals analyse companies outside the ASX 100, why these sectors are often under‑researched , and how deep fundamental work can uncover opportunities the market has missed. We explore current themes including electrification , data centres , and the early impact of AI on software businesses - plus how Ellerston constructs a 25–40 stock portfolio with a clear margin‑of‑safety framework. If you want to understand how pros find growth before the crowd, this episode is for you.
