How Owen invests in small-cap ASX shares...

Rask Australia
About this episode
In today's episode, Kate interviews Owen about one of his favourite topics: investing in small-cap companies listed on the ASX. It's an area that Owen has spent a lot of time and effort learning about and researching over the last decade.

Owens discusses why he personally chooses to invest in the wild west of small-caps, how to better understand ASX small-caps, understanding the hype/fear cycles, expanding your circle of competence, staying sceptical and finding information on undiscovered companies.
