If there is one request that we repeatedly receive from our audience, it's that you want more content on the wonderful, often under-covered world of microcaps. It makes cents (literally). These stocks usually fly under the radar of the masses, providing diligent investors with the opportunity to invest in mispriced stocks and generate capital growth over the long term. However, investing in this area of the market comes with its risks. In 2022, the S&P/ASX Emerging Companies Index suffered a brutal blow (it fell 24%), with one Livewire contributor describing it as a "killing field". This year, however, the Index has lifted around 3%, but it hasn't been a tide that has lifted all boats. So in today's episode, we're joined by microcap expert Jessica Farr-Jones, the portfolio manager of the Regal Emerging Companies Strategy*. She shares why she is feeling bullish about the opportunity in small and micro caps, some of the stocks that have her excited, as well as a deep dive into what small and microcap investors can expect this reporting season. And yes, if the last name sounds familiar, she's the daughter of Wallabies great Nick Farr-Jones, who now also works in funds management as a mining specialist. *Note: This strategy is only available to wholesale investors. However, around 25% of the Regal listed investment trust (ASX: RF1) is exposed to the Emerging Companies Strategy, which investors can access on the ASX.
Nick Farr-Jones recently joined NZ Funds for a series of investment briefings. We catch up with him to discuss what he's learned about leadership over the past 30 years. We also talk about the shape of the mining sector as the world looks towards a decarbonised future.
In Episode 102 of the No Limitations podcast “Don't Look at the Scoreboard”, Blenheim Partners' Gregory Robinson speaks to Nick Farr-Jones AM, Director of Taurus Funds Management and a former Captain of the Australia National Rugby Union Team. Nick led the Wallabies to Australia's first Rugby World Cup title in 1991. In an illuminating and at times very personal conversation, we are treated to some rare insight into the crucial moments on and off the field that led to the Wallabies' success in their 1991 Rugby World Cup campaign. Nick shares with us the core principles of leadership and the elements at play, from disappointment to the path forward, from the preparation and discipline to the essence of teamwork, and from the pressure on the big stage to the confidence and calmness in achieving victory. Nick represented Australia in rugby union, having played 63 Tests after his debut in 1984. He was later appointed Captain in 1988 and led Australia in 36 Tests. Prior to his current role, he worked at French investment bank Société Générale in Paris before leading their mining finance team in Sydney. He is also Chairman of Stand Tall, a charity that supports the mental well-being of Australian youth. He previously served on the Boards of NRMA and Wesley Mission, was a Councillor of the City of Sydney, a Senator of the University of Sydney and was previously Chairman of New South Wales Rugby Union.

Embattled Rugby Australia's Chief Executive Raelene Castle stepped down last night after nearly three years at the helm, saying she believed the board no longer wanted her in the role amid a financial crisis compounded by the coronavirus shutdown. Eleven former Wallabies players, including Nick Farr-Jones, George Gregan and Michael Lynagh, had also signed a letter earlier this week demanding a leadership change. And, the NRL is to restart next month, but where does this leave the Warriors? A new documentary on Michael Jordan, and should golf and tennis pros play without spectators?

So here we arrive at another Green and Gold Rugby podcast, Episode 176 as it stands. More significantly it is the next in our series of Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcasts featuring Wallaby World Champions and tonight we have the man who you could say started it all. The image of Nick Farr-Jones holding aloft William Web-Ellis, having received it on the steps of Twickenham back in 1991, is such an iconic image in Australian Rugby. It would not be a Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcast series without a chance to chat with the man who first held the World Cup as a Wallaby World Champion. For all rugby fans, this is a must listen as Farr-Jones takes us through his memories of 1987 (not so good) and 1991 (much better). There are eye-opening discoveries and important learnings. From 1991 we travel to the current day and get Nick's opinions on our chances this year and what his biggest concern is challenging the Wallaby's likelihood of securing a record third crown. As for who he thinks should be the Wallaby scrumhalves on tour? Well that's one for you to find out yourself. Once Nick departs, the podcast continues with Sully and Steve joining me to discuss Super Rugby and, with an entertaining cameo from Hugh Cavill, discuss the burning questions of the week. I truly hope you enjoy this listen as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Next week we move into the forwards, where the World Cups are really one, and begin with the backrow. It is sure to be another Rugby World Cup 2015 Podcast not to be missed.
