Finding fast-growing companies is only part of the challenge for small- and mid-cap managers. The market’s expectations for that growth can matter just as much. In this episode of Inside Active, host David Cohne, mutual fund and active management analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, speaks with Brandon Nelson, portfolio manager for the Calamos Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund (CTSIX) and Calamos Timpani Active SMID Growth ETF (CTAG), about his fundamental-momentum approach to investing. They discuss how Nelson looks for sustainable and underestimated growth, why management’s handling of expectations matters and how valuation factors into security selection. They also explore the importance of letting winners run while maintaining strict sell discipline, how bottom-up research drives portfolio construction and why Nelson continues to see a broad opportunity set in small- and mid-cap stocks. Recorded Sept. 22.
