DNR Capital enters emerging companies market with new addition


Leading Australian equity manager, DNR Capital, has looked to enter the emerging companies space with the addition of Sam Twidale to its investment team.
Twidale would be taking over the role of portfolio manager, and would focus on the development of a new investment strategy and product in the emerging companies space.
DNR Capital chief investment officer, Jamie Nicol, said the investment management company has looked to complement and build on the successful investment philosophy of DNR and Twidale has brought a wealth of investment experience both domestically and overseas.
“This will help us to continue identifying quality domestic businesses with sustainable competitive advantages, especially those emerging local companies with the ability to grow into global franchises,” he said.
Twidale said he was excited to join the team of highly successful investors.
“We see significant opportunities to add value in the smaller segment of the market, where we see a range of highly innovative and disruptive business models emerging in fast growing sectors such as technology, financials, consumer and healthcare”, he said.
Chief executive officer of DNR Capital, Robert White, said the new emerging companies product is scheduled for launch later in 2018, and further details about the product would be released at that time.
