US equity · Oberweis Asset Management
High-growth US small-caps, found through earnings surprise and a disciplined process.
The Fund focuses on investing in under-researched, publicly traded small-cap companies that generate earnings above consensus expectations. The strategy is grounded in the behavioural finance concept of post-earnings announcement drift, aiming to capitalise on the market’s tendency to underestimate positive earnings surprises and the persistence of continued earnings growth.
It follows a bottom-up, fundamentals-based stock selection approach, concentrating on companies within the Russell Smallcap universe that demonstrate positive earnings, rather than the more speculative non-earning companies that represent a significant portion of the index. The Fund also emphasises businesses with strong financial characteristics, including consistent free cash flow generation and solid balance sheets.
