Smart investments aren’t always the cheapest - they’re in the businesses customers love.
In this episode, we sit down with Michael Frazis, founder of Frazis Capital Partners, to unpack his high-conviction strategy for backing the fastest-growing companies on the planet.
Forget spreadsheets and value traps. Frazis is focused on one thing: finding category leaders with wild organic growth and customers who can’t get enough. It’s a momentum-based playbook built to ride the big winners and cut the rest fast.
He breaks down how his fund identifies breakout businesses early, manages risk in volatile markets and spots the kind of “love metrics” that signal serious pricing power.

We look into the forces driving gold's rally this year, its role as an inflation hedge, the factors influencing its price and whether it still has room to grow.

Andrew Smith, a seasoned Portfolio Manager at Perennial Partners with over 20 years of experience, certainly thinks so – especially when it comes to ASX small caps.
Investing in small caps is a high-risk, high-reward game. The ride can be wild but those who know how to spot hidden gems before they take off can potentially reap serious rewards.
That’s exactly what Perennial Partners has been doing for years – uncovering undervalued companies before the rest of the market catches on.
In this episode, we get to learn directly from Andrew about:
