In this 3,439 word interview, exclusively provided to the Wall Street Transcript, these 3 money managers inform the investing public of their top convictions
“We try to find companies that we call best-in-class growth or undiscovered gems. As Mark was alluding to, we’re looking for companies that are small and under the radar. They’re really well-managed companies, but they’re tiny in terms of market cap.
A lot of people don’t spend a lot of time looking at them on the active side because you can’t put a ton of assets into them. And then, passive investing doesn’t really want to own these either because there’s not a lot of liquidity typically. And again, since they’re small on the microcap side, they don’t make it into the index in a meaningful way most of the time.
One name that we really like right now is called BBI Life Sciences (HKG:1035). This is what we call an undiscovered gem, best-in-class growth company. It’s a $150 million-market-cap company, and it’s a Chinese-based company. And what we’ve identified here is a play on the Chinese health care and life sciences industry.
The Chinese government is pretty set on developing their own R&D and pharmaceutical industry in China itself. And we want to participate in that, but we don’t really want to try to choose what pharma company or what drug specifically will end up becoming the big winner.
What we want to do is play that trend.”
