Global Insight Solutions Portfolio Manager Eric Anderson presented at the One2One Investor Forum about the firm’s Global Smaller Companies Fund (Unlisted (UK):GSCF) and the investment case for global small caps. Anderson outlined how the London-based FCA-authorised manager uses a network of local analysts across the US, Europe and Asia to identify overlooked opportunities in smaller companies.
Anderson explained that many global portfolios remain heavily concentrated in large-cap stocks, which are already “priced for a great deal of future success,” while smaller companies offer exposure to future market leaders that are still under the radar. He emphasised that small caps represent a phase where businesses transition from niche players to global competitors, often delivering faster growth and greater pricing inefficiencies.
The discussion highlighted key structural themes such as AI infrastructure, energy transition and industrial reshoring, noting that many of the companies enabling these trends sit within the small-cap universe rather than among headline large-cap names. As Anderson put it, “you cannot understand global businesses from a single location. Markets reward immersion, not observation.”
