The case for holding resources in an Australian small caps fund

Australian small cap resource stocks are often viewed as more speculative relative to their industrial counterparts. While historical returns generated by Australian small resources have been more volatile, periods of ‘super-normal’ returns have been demonstrated, resulting from outperformance in select commodity cycles. The ability to consistently pick commodity cycles is inherently difficult and not a focus of our investment process. However, we believe there is significant alpha-generating potential at a stock specific level, although investors need to be selective at the smaller end of the Australian small resources market.

Gold prices have been on an upward trajectory for the past two years, with a weak Australian dollar boosting the price in local currency even further. While we don’t foresee this rapid rise continuing in the short term, the investment proposition for many Australian small cap gold stocks still appears attractive, even if prices were to pull back 10-20%.
