Gary Rollo
July 13, 2022
Like in most market downturns, small cap growth stocks are being punished hardest by a market that now views growth as a dirty word. This is great news for investors, as it creates opportunities to invest in businesses whose share price decline is due to changing sentiment rather than deteriorating fundamentals.

Dominic Rose
July 12, 2022
The Montgomery Small Companies Fund performance was a story of two halves during the financial year ending 30 June 2022, with strong returns posted in the first six months, followed by negative returns in the ensuing months.
