Is there any hope left for small caps?

Jun 19, 2024 | moneymarketing.co.uk | Adam Norris |Phil Jeynes |Ian McKenna |ian mckenna

One of my first investment learnings in the hazy years of university was around the haloed small-cap effect. Small caps are perceived as inherently riskier than their larger counterparts. A combination of variable growth rates, lower liquidity, substantially reduced sell-side coverage (all versus large or mega caps) and reduced access to capital markets should lead to greater inefficiencies and require an extra premium to own. Over time, this premium should lead to higher expected returns.
How UK market is eating itself to growth

Mar 14, 2024 | moneymarketing.co.uk | Adam Norris |Dan Cooper |Tarnia Elsworth |Adam Norris

A favourite bedtime story for my son is Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The larvae eats its way through many fruits and sugary treats day by day, before blooming into a beautiful butterfly. Given my son’s tendency to eat everything placed in front of him, I sometimes wonder if the story’s words are in fact a memoir of his day. This theme of sluggish growth before gorging its way to beauty is also somewhat reminiscent of the current UK equity market.
Reflection and Advice From a Tourism Professional

Feb 15, 2024 | medium.com | Adam Norris

Are you happy with your life choices? In Southern-hemisphere Summer seasons in Antarctica, I found myself rescuing penguins from ferocious leopard seals and wickedly intelligent orcas, aka killer whales. They didn’t say thanks, but I recognized it in there eyes. In Northern-hemisphere Summer seasons, I navigated Alaskan rainforests guiding hikers toward an active salmon-running stream where they could witness the carnage of black bears devouring fish after fish.
Now, that’s what I call an alternative: Making money in music and infrastructure

Jan 17, 2024 | moneymarketing.co.uk | Adam Norris |Nic Cicutti |Dan Cooper

Anybody who has seen the Abba Voyage virtual concert (or have heard friends or family rave about it) will have inadvertently professed the enduring power of music. Using modern CGI techniques, Voyage has allowed artistry created decades ago to be vividly consumed across generations and drive listenership for decades to come, along with healthy profits for the artists behind the now 50-year-old albums.

“Bellingen Shire is not safe”By ADAM NORRISThe Bellingen Shire faces the prospect of major delays in the event of an emergency, as local Fire & Rescue workers warn they are saddled with ageing assets and a lack of resources.

Are we there yet? Prepare for a market correction

Oct 4, 2023 | moneymarketing.co.uk | Adam Norris |Mel Kenny |Kimberley Dondo

My wife and I recently took our newborn on his first trip away, up to the Lake District, on a Google Maps-estimated four-hour drive. Some seven-and-a-half hours later, we found it was in fact us adults asking ‘Are we there yet?’ The lagging effect was two worn out parents, just as the holiday started. Cruise control is wonderful until you hit gridlocked traffic like on the M6 that day.
Absolutely Faebulous

Sep 14, 2023 | bellingenshirenews.com | Adam Norris

By ADAM NORRISLast year, the streets of Bellingen came alive with the appearance of faeries, sprites, dragons and unicorns as they formed a Fae Parade from Hyde Street down to the Bellinger River. The grand carnival of children and their enchanted chaperones was a colourful sight to behold, and after recently visiting the renovated Memorial Hall organiser Astara Amicus saw an opportunity for the event to take on a whole new life.
