FUTURE LEADERS SET A CRACKING PACE IN 2013:
AUSTRALIAN MICROCAP INVESTMENT CONFERENCE TO REVEAL SUCCESS STORIES FROM TOMORROW
Corporate advisory firm D H Flinders Pty Limited is pleased to announce that the highly anticipated 4th Annual Australian
Microcap Investment Conference (AMIC) starts tomorrow, Tuesday 22 October. The conference is being held in Melbourne
over two days on Tuesday 22 October and Wednesday 23 October 2013 at Sofitel Melbourne on Collins in the ‘Arthur
Streeton Auditorium’.
AMIC is Australia’s largest and most comprehensive Microcap event, showcasing the services, products, strategies and
people driving today’s growth companies. The event will provide investors with an opportunity to hear firsthand from the
CEOs of 24 of Australia’s leading and dynamic microcap companies, from a varied range of sectors, as they showcase their
companies, strategies and people.
The microcap universe comprises over 1,700 companies with a market capitalisation of under $250m dollars presenting many
opportunities for investors. Microcap companies provide access to many niche industry sectors, as well as emerging
technologies and business areas that are sometimes overlooked by larger companies. As investment markets have started to
recover, many smaller ASX listed companies are well placed to capitalise on growth opportunities.
At last year’s conference AMIC had 23 listed companies present. Over the past year to 30 September 2013, eight of those
companies have been standout performers with returns of over 50%. The emerchants (Adept Solutions) share price increased
by a staggering 650%, Bionomics by 128%, Vita Group by 103%, TFS Corporation by 93%, MaxiTRANS Industries by 70%,
Jumbo Interactive by 60%, AMA Group by 56% and Vocus Communications by 55%.
The companies presenting at this year’s conference include Australia’s largest pure-play satellite communications company,
NewSat Limited (ASX: NWT), Australia’s leading issuer of pre-paid cards, emerchants Limited (ASX: EML), leading renewable
energy company, Infigin Energy (ASX: IFN) and many more.
D H Flinders has partnered with leading investor relations and communications firm, Bourse Communications, accounting
and audit firm, Hayes Knight, marketing communications group Motivo, commercial law firm Piper Alderman and The City of Melbourne to present the conference in conjunction with association partners, the Association of Financial Advisers,
Stockbrokers Association of Australia and the US based National Investment Banking Association.
AMIC aims to act as a conduit and facilitate the sometimes challenging communication process between a company and its
stakeholders, which may include shareholders, stockbrokers, fund managers, analysts, institutions, private investors and the
business media.
In commenting on Australia’s largest microcap event, Craig Dunstan, Executive Director of D H Flinders said:
“We are very pleased to be in our 4th
year and even more delighted to have secured 24 outstanding ASX listed companies to
present as well as a key note presentation from Mike Taylor of Pie Funds Management.”
“This year we have over 350 professional investors, stockbrokers and financial advisers registered to attend. It is great to
receive such a positive response from the investment and business community. There is no doubt that the microcap sector is
generating greater interest each year as investors realise the gains to be made by investing in smaller companies.”
