FAQs
Questions Answered
There are two main small-cap indexes to bench mark small cap stocks.
S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries index
In Australia look at this index for the small companies on the ASX. It includes all companies in the S&P/ASX 300, excluding those in the S&P/ASX 100. It accounts for 12% (November 2020) of Australia’s equity market. Remember to make it even onto the small companies index these stocks are no longer small! They are quality companies often producing dividends.
The Russell 2000 index
Is the US small cap index. It shows you how small companies are performing in the US market.
Because Institutional investors have constraints
One advantage of investing in small-cap stocks is the opportunity to beat institutional investors. ETFs and funds have internal rules that restrict them from buying small-cap stock companies.
They can’t invest until the company has already increased in value and enters into an index.
The Small Caps on the ASX are just too small for the big fund managers to put their funds into.
Fund managers won’t buy into any company until it reaches around $100m with the majority not even considering investing until it reaches a market cap of $500m.
This is a big advantage to individuals! it means that the share price of these Small Caps has had to have doubled, tripled and quadrupled before a fund manager will invest capital in it, with mum and dad investors riding the company’s shares outstanding success wave to get there.
And this is precisely what happens. A few examples are:
- AVA Risk Group (AVA)
- Tassal (TGR)
- BigAirAfterpay (APT)
- Zip (Z1P)
- Austal (ASB)
- Clover (CLV)
- Macquarie Telecom (MAQ)
- Northern Star (NST)
$AVAThese are just a few of our outstanding shares that were all Under the Radar Report stocks when no-one else was covering them or investing in them.
After a period of fast growth, fund managers become interested in small companies when the market cap reaches a key tipping point.
By which time, the share price has boomed and then the company’s share price often booms again as more fund managers buy in to the future performance.
Under the Radar starts coverage on stocks well below the index market cap requirements of the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries. We look at stocks with a market cap of between $50-500m
Small Caps are more volatile and there is “information risk”. In these companies their historic earnings performance can often bear little resemblance to their future earnings. And so you need good research before you invest in them.

Our Stock Success Rate
7/10 Stocks Outperform
We don’t get every stock right which is why it’s so important to diversify.
Small Companies rarely attract independent analysis because they are too small. But the shares we have covered in the last 10 years have definitely been noticed now and have delivered big returns for our subscribers.
Our Take Over Stock Success Rate
1 in 5of our stocks have been taken over
These stocks have doubled, tripled and more in value. Some that no one knew about are now household names. Think Afterpay or Northern Star Resources. Most recently our lithium stocks are taking off.
But then there are all the small caps, that aren’t taken over but just succeed in their niche and become household names, or are success stories of their industries.
