SG Hiscock has announced it will offer an exclusive global small cap strategy to the local market in partnership with EAM Global Investors. 

San Diego-based EAM joins the likes of global businesses Morgan Stanley Investment Management (Australia) and LaSalle Investment Management that are part of SG Hiscock’s partnership program, which commenced in June 2020.

“The global small cap market is a fascinating space in this economic environment, and EAM is a well-respected fund manager with a proven track record of delivering returns for investors.

“Under the program, we’re able to provide Australian investors with access to investment opportunities across global equities and global real estate investment trusts, and now with EAM, global small caps,” said Stephen Hiscock, chief investment officer and executive chair at SG Hiscock. 

The EAM Global Opportunities strategy seeks to deliver consistent alpha by investing in global small cap companies that correspond to the market capitalisation range of the MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index.

The strategy has delivered net 9.6 per cent since inception in 2017 compared to the benchmark of 6.02 per cent for the same time period. 

EAM chief investment officer, Travis Prentice, highlights SG Hiscock’s strong investment network in the Australian market and its proven ability to deliver products and strategies on behalf of global managers. 

“Our firm has existing institutional client relationships in Australia and we are thrilled our capabilities will now also be available to the adviser market,” Prentice said.

“The distribution team at SG Hiscock comes highly regarded, and we’re excited to tap into their expertise and relationships with domestic adviser groups.”

Earlier this year, SG Hiscock and global fund manager abrdn entered into a strategic partnership whereby it has become the wholesale distribution partner for abrdn’s international funds in the Australian market. This formally took place on 17 April.
