How to pick small-cap shares

By John Lee

Small-cap shares tend to outperform the broader market significantly over longer periods, even allowing for their greater volatility, and have turned in particularly notable performances since the worst of the financial crisis passed.

They are less well covered by analysts and the media, so the chances of finding an undervalued nugget are high for those prepared to do the legwork. In addition, small-caps can grow faster from a lower base than their larger rivals.

John Lee was one of Britain’s first “Isa millionaires”, and made much of his fortune (now over £3m) via judicious investment in smaller company shares. His book How to Make a Million – Slowly, is published by Pearson Education next week.
