Nuix’s fall from grace is some story…
In 2020, they were the cool new IPO.
Nuix [ASX:NXL] was a big player in the Panama Papers…
The ‘biggest data leak in history’.
The Panama Papers splurged secrets of politicians, sports stars, celebrities, heads of state and even organised crime syndicates.
Nuix was a little Aussie company who built a data-processing algorithm to sift through all that stuff…
And it got them noticed.
Soon, an Australian Royal Commission was using their software in high-profile inquiries.
Suddenly, government agencies and large corporations were courting Nuix.
They were going to be the next global tech superstar…
And they easily sold IPO shares worth nearly $1 billion.
But while their underlying tech was sound, the suits in the boardroom stuffed things up big time…
- Key targets were being missed…
- Top talent was walking out the door…
- Hounded with lawsuit after lawsuit…
Pretty soon, their stock price absolutely cratered.
And to everybody watching this trainwreck, Nuix’s fate was sealed…
That is, to everybody BUT me…
That’s why, on 10 May 2023, with the company on its knees…
I advised a small group
of investors using the one
word nobody wanted to hear…
‘BUY.’
From the outside, I looked like a lunatic.
Public sentiment surrounding the company was already dire…
What’s more, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) had launched an insider trading investigation of Nuix’s new CEO…
…barely weeks after I made my recommendation.
As one insider told ASIC, Nuix’s IPO was like ‘putting lipstick on a pig’ and leaving investors ‘stuck with rancid bacon.’
On top of all that, between January 2022 and August 2023, the wider ASX Small Ordinaries Index sank -19%.
This was primarily due to rising interest rates and soaring inflation hammering smaller businesses from both ends.
Basically, it was a terrible time to be invested in small Australian stocks like Nuix.
So, given the situation, recommending this company seemed like financial suicide…
But I was RIGHT to recommend
that ‘rancid bacon’!
Because not long after, Nuix experienced what I called their ‘Great Resurrection’.
At the time of writing, Nuix shares are up 248% year-to-date…
Up 366% over the past 12 months…
And up 561% since I recommended it back in May 2023.
In fact, Nuix has already become the ASX’s top-performing tech stock of 2024!
So, how did I pick Nuix?
And what stocks am I picking next?
Callum Newman,
Small Cap Expert
Allow me to introduce myself…
My name is Callum Newman. I’ve been analysing and recommending some of the smallest companies listed on the Australian stock market for nearly 13 years and counting.
At the time of writing, the average gain across all my live ASX small-cap recommendations — in other words, all current open recommendations — is 81%.
‘Callum, you’ve done a fantastic job this year. I’ve followed you on TUA, Nuix, DroneShield, Telex and many others over many years. Maas Lifestyle and Catalyst are going really well just recently.’
— JH
…because of the high probability that most of his recommendations will appreciate and often quickly.’
— Wel G
‘You have knocked the ball out of the park recently!’
— DR
‘Probably the best advice around when it comes to investing in small caps.’
— Moss
Of course, we close out recommendations too. Some closed at a loss.
Our average gain across closed tips since 2016 is 36%.
And of course, not all my recs work out. I’ve tipped stocks that have lost 40% or more. That’s how this game works.
But an 81% average gain on open positions could be considered brilliant in any market…
And given the S&P Small Ordinaries Index has slumped by -15% over the last three years…
I’m pretty happy with my track record of 81% average gains on open positions at the time of writing…
Given we achieved this result while…
All the mainstream thinking…all the public
sentiment…all the bad news was saying ONE thing:
‘STAY AWAY.’
However, this period was actually the perfect time to start scooping up small-cap shares — particularly Nuix!
Remember, back then, everyone hated this stock.
But I spotted something interesting…
It was called ‘Nuix Neo’…
A powerful new artificial intelligence platform, being launched right as AI was beginning to dominate the zeitgeist.
My bet was that Neo would spark a resurrection in Nuix…
And that bet paid off BIG TIME.
Last financial year, Nuix saw their financial performance turn around. The court cases became mostly behind them. Investor trust was restored.
This is an outlier result, of course. As I said, many other small caps were getting beaten down during this period…
But if you’d picked up Nuix’s stock when I recommended it in mid-2023, you could’ve made 561% on your money within 18 months.
In fact, only two other stocks we’ve recommended inside my service have risen higher:
A small-cap called Zip Co [ASX:ZIP], which we held for three years, and closed out in 2020 for an impressive 866% return…
And a fairly famous company, that today is called Afterpay [ASX:APT]…
Although, we were so early to recommend this stock, they had a completely different name back then!
And just like Nuix, Afterpay had their fair share of problems…
Profits…regulations…one of their biggest investors bailing…
But they eventually experienced their own resurrection, going on to be called ‘Australia’s biggest wealth machine’.
This is all to say, we saw past Afterpay’s ‘rancid bacon’, too…
Which is why we were able to close out that recommendation in 2020 for an extreme 1,448% return…
And it’s why one of our readers recently told us he made over $100,000 from that single play alone!
Now, it goes without saying, small caps are the riskiest stocks on the market.
They’re risky when times are crappy for growth stocks…
And they’re risky when times are good for growth stocks.
In other words, a good market doesn’t eliminate the risk from small caps…
And to be perfectly fair, making over 100 grand on a single stock recommendation IS an exceptional example…
But I’m telling you these stories for a reason.
There are certain times in the market where your chances of landing Nuix, Zip Co, or Afterpay-like returns get just a little bit better.
Still long…
But improved.
Today, I believe we’re entering one of those periods.
So, if you’ve ever been tempted to try your hand at investing in high-potential small-cap stocks…
This is shaping up to be an
ideal time to include
several,
if not more, in your portfolio.
And I think we could well see multiple small cap resurrections in 2025.
That’s why I have three high-conviction recommendations for you to consider now — so keep reading…
First, you should know why I believe right now is the perfect time to become a small-cap investor.
Because a few years ago, small caps were practically left for dead…
In 2022, the Fed kicked off the fastest rate-raising cycle in modern US history — from near-zero to over 5% in just 14 months.
This rate-raising cycle massacred smaller stocks.
The Russell 2000 Index, which is the leading index of US small cap stocks, sank by more than -30%.
Aussie small caps fell roughly the same.
Because…
- Even if a small company was making great progress, no one would lend them money to expand…
- Even if they did expand profits, margins got squeezed back by inflation…
- And even if a positive announcement attracted investors’ capital, another ‘market panic’ or ‘flight to safety’ would scare them away again…
These difficult conditions gave the biggest companies, in Australia and around the world, a massive advantage.
Struggling economies, persistent inflation, high interest rates, and the coming AI boom…all contributed to a ‘winners keep winning’ effect.
Larger companies thrived.
The rest of the market got starved out.
And apart from extreme exceptions like Nuix — most small caps were left out in the cold.
This has been the ‘herd sentiment’ of the last few years…
But markets are at a
turning point right now…
On 18 September 2024, the US Federal Reserve sparked a new global rate-cutting cycle.
The Fed cut rates aggressively — their first cut in four years.
And central banks everywhere are now following the same playbook.
They’ve either cut rates…or are about to.
And when a new rate-cutting cycle kicks off, history shows us small caps tend to outperform large-caps in a big way.
In fact, based on the last 30 years of market data…
Aussie small caps have outpaced their large-cap cousins by an average of 8% after the Fed cuts rates for the first time.
And for US small caps, asset management firm Janus Henderson puts that relative outperformance factor at 10%.
My point is, during certain periods, the outperformance of small caps is real.
And even without that proven rate-cutting tailwind,
certain companies have still been able to outperform…
‘Extremely happy with your service, I have been with you for about three years.
‘Really enjoyed the education and experience and watching you develop your skills.
‘I did pretty good with DroneShield, 500% plus, sold small parcel to recover my costs plus some extra profit. Now totally free carried for the majority of my holdings. Currently holding Nuix +432% and rising, I have had many others that have done very well.
‘I can highly recommend Callum to you…
— Wayne
Take DroneShield [ASX:DRO], for example.
We got into this defence-tech minnow in February 2024.
It sealed a deal with the US government…and blasted off to a $1.2 billion valuation.
In a small cap market that was giving most investors nothing…those who bought when I instructed were able to bank 133% in under six months.
And one of my members did even better than that…
Right now, he’s up over 500% and counting, as you can see here.
Another case in point…
Since April 2022, I’ve been making some calculated small-cap plays in the real estate space.
This section of my portfolio is up an average of 32%.
Over the same time frame, the wider Aussie small-cap index LOST -7%.
And one more example…
Around the time we took the plunge on Nuix, I got wind of another breaking story…
A little Aussie telecom upstart about to hatch a strategic expansion plan into Asia. I loved this company’s prospects, so I recommended it last March.
Its stock is currently up well over 300%…
And I reckon there’s plenty more upside to come.
The point I’m making is…
Despite the hostile environment,
there were still good plays
waiting to be picked off…
And we did really, really well. But don’t just take my word for it.
‘Callum’s calls in the small cap space have been prescient.
‘In the last 12 months, I've only had to exit a small number of losing positions, with the sell advice given judiciously early.
‘Most of my positions are in profit (TUAS, SPR >100% profit).
‘Overall gains for Callum's recommendations have been remarkable! Lots of teaching along the way. Thanks very much Callum!’
— DJS
‘Callum's portfolio is the best performing of the six Fat Tail portfolios I presently have.’
— Wel G
‘I bought into DRO in September 2020 very low and sold a small parcel in March 2023 to recoup my investment and also reap a small return. The remainder of my parcel is pure profit and growing.
‘My small caps have remained in profit overall after the first 12–14 months.
‘So, thank you for all your relevant and prompt recommendations and please keep up the good work.’
— Peter F
Now, important to mention that it’s entirely up to my members which of my recommendations they buy and sell, and when.
‘I look at your recommendations and then do my own research based on fundamentals. If I like the recommendation, I then buy the share.
‘Over the past 24 months I invested in 7 of your recommendations. On two I booked a small loss and one a tiny gain. The 4 remaining are still open and are performing between well and exceptional!
‘TUA is at an unrealised profit of over 300% after 19 months. NXL shows an unrealised profit of 240% after only 7 months. The other two are also well in the money.
‘I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in joining the service.’
— Peter M
What Peter says about losses is important.
They happen.
Some stocks head south. Some give back gains because we hold on too long. And some just don’t fire at all.
For instance, after holding it for over a year, we cashed out of a mining service stock called Perenti [ASX:PRN] for a meagre 5% gain.
We also took a position in a speculative company Avita Medical [ASX:AVH]…
It was initially worth about $3.33 per share…before it flew up and hit $5.60.
Then it collapsed to $2.70…and now it’s hovering around $3.
Long story short, we sold out, below our buy-price.
But that’s the deal with these kinds of low-liquidity stocks.
They can move…quick. Both up AND down.
And just as we’ve successfully gotten onto great winners in a bad small cap market…
It’s almost certain we’ll get some losers too…
Even if — as I’m predicting here — the small cap market experiences a massive tailwind in 2025.
My point is, I know what to look for when it comes to
these higher-risk, higher-potential-reward stocks.
And if this is what we can achieve in a difficult market…
Just imagine what we might be able to do when small caps come roaring back to life!
We’re speculating, of course.
But we do have history as a firm guide.
Because the last time we entered a rate-cutting period like this…we established a portfolio of small-cap stocks that went totally bananas over the next 18 months.
I’ll show you the full results in a moment…
But in short, we saw average gains of 61%, 56%, and 27% across all three sections of our portfolio.
Now, I’m gearing up to repeat this
outperformance in 2025…
And possibly do even BETTER than
we did last
time around.
So, I’ll quickly explain WHY small caps often rise — right after rates start to fall…
There are actually a few key reasons:
- The simplest reason is the risk equation changes. In blackjack, players often increase their bets when the count is in their favour. Similarly, the promise of lower rates justifies a punt on riskier assets. People become more willing to shift money from bank accounts and bonds…back into stocks. This happened in all past rate-cutting cycles…and there is evidence that it’s beginning again now…
-
‘Small-cap stocks tend to need capital to grow and have some debt on their balance sheets. If borrowing is cheaper (meaning the interest rate they pay is lower), they'll get an instant boost to earnings. And there will be more capital available to invest in their businesses.’
Venture Value
- Falling interest rates help small Australian mining stocks in particular. As Aussie investors, we have a bit of a superpower here. When interest rates fall…and commodity prices rise…which is happening right now…the small cap miners start to ‘resurrect’. They can borrow more to explore more…become more profitable…garner more investor attention…and potentially see major spikes in their share price as economic conditions improve.
- REALLY GOOD VALUATIONS OFTEN APPEAR AT THE SMALLER END OF TOWN. When interest rates are higher, even the most solid-footed of small companies don’t get much love from investors. But when that tide turns…it can turn quickly. The valuation gap between large caps and small caps narrows…and good small caps — the operative word being GOOD — can come back to life FAST.
THIS is the opportunity I’m strongly encouraging you to consider for 2025 and beyond.
A historic rotation out of bloated large-caps and boring bank accounts…
…and back into certain high-potential growth shares.
And it’s not just an idle bet.
The last time this happened…
Those who followed our recommendations had
the
chance to make a KILLING.
The last rate-cutting cycle back in 2020 was a dramatic one.
Our first global pandemic in a hundred years sent central banks into a freakout.
Everyone raced to cut rates to near-zero. Even countries that already had ultra-low or negative rates, like Japan, used other easing tools to stimulate their economies.
It was rate-cutting on steroids…
And this supercharged the stock gains that followed.
Between March 2020 and September 2021, large cap stocks on the ASX 200 rose a massive 55%…
But Aussie small caps?
As a whole, they EXPLODED 140%
over the same period.
Now, the advisory I run focuses solely on investing in Australian small cap shares.
And we were fully prepared to take advantage of this interest rate U-turn…by going after the right stocks, at the right time.
What follows are snapshots of our open trades at 21 August, 2021.
This is what our advisory’s small cap portfolio looked like by the end of that rate-cutting cycle.
These were our tech small caps…
Here, you’re looking at an average gain on our open tech stock positions of 61%.
What about our resources small caps?
Resources stocks were the ‘laggards’ during this period…
But the average gain here was still 27%!
And many other sectors in our portfolio shot up as well…
The average open gain here across financials, healthcare, consumer, and industrials was 56% by the end of the last rate-cutting cycle.
And it’s worth keeping in mind, this is just a single-day snapshot of our open positions.
During this period, we also closed out positions and banked profits.
And sucked up some losses.
Because even when things are going good, you can lose money in the small cap arena.
My point is, the last time small caps had a big resurgence, we did pretty well…
We nailed the last rate-cutting cycle…
And you’ve seen what we achieved even during a ‘bad’ small-cap market…
Now, I believe this NEXT Small Cap
Resurrection could be even greater…
Because if I’m right, we’re entering a period where wins could be much more plentiful…
But I won’t be breaking away from the fundamentals…
- Finding companies the mainstream news isn’t covering…
- Researching the ones that have been unfairly sold down…
- Buying in when most others aren’t interested…
- Managing our risk exposure…
- If we’re wrong, we have a strategy for making sure we cut our losses quickly…
- And if we’re right, you can ride the stock up and then take your profits at the right time…
That’s small cap investing 101.
And knowing when to CASH OUT
is especially critical…
I have seen big ramp-ups in share price where we are up many hundreds of percent.
And it’s tempting to get greedy. You wonder how much more could be on offer…
You stay in the trade. Only to watch it backslide…
It happens to the best of us.
That’s the nature of small-cap investing.
But I reckon I’ve got the strategy down better than any of my contemporaries. At least in Australia!
‘Really excellent cost-effective service.
‘Love that it is a relatively concentrated portfolio.
‘Love the clear buy, hold, sell recommendations.
‘Love the diversity of sectors.
‘Love the analysis and consideration that goes into each recommendation.
‘Love the performance.’— Lachlan
A big part of that performance is knowing when to cut your losses, as well as cash out of your winnings.
At some point, for instance, we’ll need to make a call when it’s time to cash out of Nuix, like we did with Zip Co and Afterpay.
So, who’s next on my hitlist?
I’ve got three recommendations for you inside my special report:
Small Caps, Big Comeback:
Three ASX Minnows Set to Revive in ’25
Simply click the button below to claim your digital copy immediately:
Now, we’re basing our projections on historical data and experience here…
And no one knows exactly what the future holds.
So, we could turn out to be wrong about this coming Great Resurrection.
But here’s what we
DO know for sure…
Today, the valuation gap
between small caps and large-caps
is the widest it’s been in approximately 25 years.
In technical terms, this has created an opportunity for what’s called ‘mean reversion’…
Director of Research at The Stansberry Digest, Matt Weinschenk, explains the current set-up perfectly…
An easy way to look at it is just to think about individuals.
‘So, if you've got a multimillionaire and you've got a student who’s waiting tables — who’s going to feel the impact of an interest-rate rise on their credit cards?
‘Their credit card goes from 18% to 25%, a millionaire might not even notice. The person who’s living paycheque to paycheque waiting the tables, they're going to notice that thing.
‘The same sort of dynamic is in play with large companies and small companies.
‘Small companies, they generally need capital to grow. Large companies have huge war chests. They're not as sensitive to changes in interest rates…
‘The stock market generally sells small caps when rates rise, and that kind of makes sense — because a small company is going to be more sensitive to changes in their debt structure.
‘Similar — or the exact opposite − when rates fall and that’s what we’re seeing right now, that is when small caps have tended to outperform.’
The prices of the three stocks I’m recommending in my report, Small Caps, Big Comeback, are in my belief, still trading at massive discounts…
Because if this trend was
obvious, EVERYONE
would be jumping on it already…
And I can tell you now, it is NOT obvious…
The signs are there. But it’s by no means a done deal.
You see, a few months ago, it looked like the Great Resurrection was on for all money…
After YEARS of underperformance, small caps went berserk.
Good inflation data set rate-cut hopes in motion…
The financial press gushed about a ‘great rotation’…
And we finally saw some rapid-fire movement in the sector.
But that excitement lasted just a few short weeks.
At the time, head of investment strategy at Wilsons Advisory, David Cassidy, had this to say:
The catalyst [for a rotation into small caps] seems a bit of a way off for Australia.’
So, there’s still great risk here…and likewise, great opportunity.
Good news is, you’re still early to the action.
That’s why I want to share my three plays with you in Small Caps, Big Comeback: Three ASX Minnows Set to Revive in ’25.
I’ll give you everything you need to know — including the risk profile of each play…
So, you can go in with your eyes wide open.
I’ll send you a digital copy immediately when you subscribe to my investment advisory service, Australian Small-Cap Investigator, today.
Australian Small-Cap Investigator — or ASI for short — was launched way back in 2007…
Our company’s very first advisory service.
Our members encompass people from all walks of life, wealth brackets, and investing temperaments.
- Some use it sparingly, going for the odd ‘Nuix-style’ swing for the fences…
- Some use ASI as the speculative anchor of their retirement portfolio…
- And some just love hearing about up-and-coming stocks, paper trading them for fun.
We’re a varied bunch — from professors to plumbers, uni grads to retired farmers, and everything in between…
But all our followers have one unifying attribute:
We’re independent thinkers.
As PayPal founder and venture capitalist Peter Thiel said:
The most contrarian thing of all is not to oppose the crowd, but to think for yourself.’
This is also our mantra at ASI.
You’ll see that pretty clearly when you give my advisory service a try today, and claim your digital copy of Small Caps, Big Comeback: Three ASX Minnows Set to Revive in ’25.
Because when you have an edge — and you know something others don’t know — if you’re right, the potential payoff can be ENORMOUS.
According to the Australian Financial Review…
With a sluggish economic environment set to remain for at least another six months, a small-caps renaissance still seems unlikely.’
Look, as I said, the mainstream is still not onboard with this trend…
But you know what?
Australian Small-Cap Investigator does NOT cater
to a mainstream audience…
So, if you’d prefer to…
- Stick close to the flock…
- Stay in the safe lane…
- And have your wealth passively ‘managed’ for you…
We’re probably NOT for you.
Otherwise, I’d like to invite you to give Australian Small-Cap Investigator a go.
Your ASI membership is also covered by our
ironclad 30-day, no-obligation money-back guarantee
Today, I’m inviting you to take my advisory service for a test drive.
For the next 30 days, you’re more than welcome to browse all the updates inside ASI…
Read through my special report, Small Caps, Big Comeback: Three ASX Minnows Set to Revive in ’25…

We’ll give it to you, no questions asked.
Any reports and back-issues you download are yours to keep, whether you decide to continue with me or not.
It’s my way of saying thank you for giving ASI a go today.
And here’s why I’m so confident you’ll see positive results when you become a member…
Because when these Small Cap Resurrection
periods kick into gear…
…they almost become
a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When interest rates start falling…as they’ve already begun doing…
Small-cap valuations can start to improve relative to large-caps.
This drives more people into smaller stocks…
Which raises valuations even further…
Plus, lower interest rates mean more people are willing to spend money — because mortgages and loans become more affordable.
This helps smaller companies, too…
Because they can now borrow money more cheaply.
Allowing them to expand…which can, in turn, cause their stock prices to rise.
Again, none of this is guaranteed.
It’s just a relationship that generally holds true.
And more recently, Small Cap Resurrections
have become
WAY more pronounced…
Here’s a basic chart of American small caps.
This chart shows what small caps did after rate-cutting cycles — compared to large-caps — going back to 1950…
In short…BIG outperformance.
But that’s just for the last 75 years.
More recently, the first major rate-cutting cycle of the 21st century began in January 2001…
By June 2003, the Fed had slashed rates from 6.5% to 1%.
Within that time, the American Russell 2000 — the US small-cap index — surged 46%…
And even more remarkable, those smaller stocks gained over three times more than their larger counterparts in the S&P 500.
The next cutting cycle kicked off with the Global Financial Crisis in September 2007.
Now, no cycle is exactly the same…
And this time, it took a bit longer for small caps to start outperforming…since stock markets had that giant crash going into 2008.
By December 2008, rates were once again near-zero.
And from March 2009 to March 2010, the S&P 500 reinflated 68%.
But the Russell 2000 — the smaller US stocks — soared 96% in the same time frame.
And I’ve already talked about the most recent rate-cutting cycle…
The post-pandemic period where Australian Small-Cap Investigator saw average gains of 61%, 56% and 27% across all three of our portfolio sections.
Today, the stage is set for another
Great Resurrection in 2025–26…
Now, unexpected events may well crop up that interrupt this pattern.
And as I’ve stressed a few times, no one is claiming certainty here, least of all me.
We may wish the financial world was boring and dependable — but it hardly ever is!
All we really know is this:
Small caps tend to rise
after rates start falling.
And this isn’t the first time we’ve made a major call like this.
To be clear, we’re not infallible…we’re just outsiders looking in.
For example, we pre-empted the Aussie LNG boom of the late 2000s.
Driven by rising demand for natural gas in Asia — particularly in China, Japan, and South Korea…
We saw a significant increase in investment and production in Australia’s liquefied natural gas industry.
Australian Small-Cap Investigator got our members into a then little-known Queensland coal seam gas explorer, called Bow Energy [ASX:BOW].
We tipped it at 17 cents…
And just eight months later, we issued a sell alert when it was up 458%.
We covered the Great Resurrection that arose from the wreckage of the GFC…
We were also there for the rise — and fall — of Aussie pot stocks…where small caps like Cann Group [ASX:CAN] floated for cents per share…shot up as high as $4…then fell back to cents once more.
We were ahead of the curve when blockchain stocks emerged, telling our readers in 2015:
There’s a piece of technology you should get to know. This tech is only about five or six years old now. That makes it new, confusing, exciting, scary, and a huge opportunity.’
The rise of green energy…
The battery boom…
Pandemic stocks and meme stocks…
The brief frenzy in metaverse stocks…
Australian Small-Cap Investigator has been at the centre of it all.
Of course, we’ve not nailed it with every single one of our picks…
But you’ve seen what we’ve been able to achieve, even in a down market for small caps, with an average gain of 81% across all our open recommendations at the time of writing.
How you use the service is your call.
You can dabble in picks that really grab you. You can paper trade.
Or…provided you’re willing to take on the risk…and you know your way around the market a bit more…you might like to trade a bit more aggressively.
Just like one of our ASI members, who emailed to say:
‘I [changed] my strategy from one of “Spread” to one of “Leverage” putting everything into the best two. One of them went ballistic and I am now a comfortable millionaire…’
— Kanwil1943
The investments outlined in Small Caps, Big Comeback: Three ASX Minnows Set to Revive in ’25 are not for the timid.
These are the three small ASX companies I think are best-positioned to benefit from a capital rotation out of the Top 50…and into higher growth opportunities.
But you must know, these are speculative opportunities.
Speculation is making a definite call on the future, based on a handful of data points that exist in the present.
It’s an inexact investment science.
And it’s not for everyone.
Speculators can lose money if they get it wrong…
But what sets ASI apart is we don’t shy away from our losses.
Nor do we hold back when the time is right to aggressively attack a new megatrend.
But even if you make the right calls and watch your stocks go supersonic, you could STILL see your positions take a nosedive.
That’s why you need someone in your corner who’s seen this all play out before.
As such, I’d like to invite you to become a member of Australian Small-Cap Investigator today for an extremely inexpensive joining fee.
In fact, it’s such a small fee, you almost won’t believe it.
$99.
Now, think for a moment, how absurdly low a price this is for the kind of niche Aussie-focused stock analysis you’re getting access to…
Who else is doing what I do?
Who else has the runs on the board that I have?
- Harry H chose to go after just six of my recommendations over a 10-month period — he’s averaging about a 55% return.
- MJW’s portfolio is up 42%.
- Achilles says he’s ‘very impressed with the stock selections’
- Lance B says ‘ASI is a great service and Callum is brilliant’
- Gregory P Key wishes he had taken up with Australian Small-Cap earlier
- And LJB writes that — on just TWO of our positions — he’s up over $50,000!
ASI member JM de Rob makes a great point, too.
He says that he’s…
‘Happy with your service and your approach. It suits me.
‘I only consider gains when the money is in the bank and allowing you to buy something else. Yes, paper gains are great, but until put to work, just paper gains. This in no way underestimates your service, which is good. Thank you.’
So again, it’s important to me that if you do give ASI a try…you’re able to mould the advisory to your own needs.
That’s why I’ve figured out a way for you to give it a go that’s extremely affordable.
Just $99.
That’s all it takes to get access to Australian Small-Cap Investigator today.
And again, if you’re not absolutely loving everything you’re getting inside your ASI subscription…
I’ll refund you that 99 bucks, anytime within your first 30 days.
And you can claim that refund for any reason, or for no reason at all…
You’re in complete control.
Here’s everything you’re
getting
when you become
a member of ASI today…
When you accept my invitation today, you’ll get immediate access to:
Small Caps, Big Comeback:
Three ASX Minnows
Set to Revive in ’25
This report details my three highest-conviction small cap plays for 2025…
- PLAY #1: My all-in single play on credit expansion in 2025. This is a double-hit. You’re betting on a general revival in small caps. But these guys do especially well as credit conditions ease…because credit is their business. As lower interest rates boost economic activity, these guys are first in line to reap the rewards…
- PLAY #2: A 45-cent miner striking, what I call, digital gold. At the time of writing, it’s up 11% in one month. And 59% in 2024. So, momentum is already rapidly building here. And then there’s an X-Factor: this company’s niche resource is linked to the coming expansion in semiconductors in 2025…
- PLAY #3: My tech resurrection play — an ASX minnow to buy while they’ve bottomed. We saw an early and fast 60% gain on this one. Since then, their share price has whittled back a bit. Which, in my opinion, makes it an urgent buy. A small fish in Australia’s growing tech pond that seems to have bottomed-out…and has several big ‘product drops’ lined up for 2025. This is your single-stock play for when capital migrates away from the ‘Magnificent 7’ and into much smaller, more exciting tech growth opportunities…
You’ll get immediate access to the stock names, ticker symbols, and buy-up-to prices for all three plays inside this special report when you join ASI today.
You’ll see the upside potential of each recommendation, as well as the unique risks.
Plus, you’re also getting
full access to everything inside
Australian Small-Cap Investigator
The full archive, the buy list, the monthly updates…everything.
In these updates, I’m going to be highlighting certain sectors I think are shining particularly bright…filled with great companies the market is not properly valuing yet.
That’s what we did to great effect during the last rate-cutting period in 2020–21.
Back then, we focused on small-cap tech plays that benefited from the surprise stay-at-home megatrend…as well as certain biotech and mining plays.
This time’s a little different.
I’m looking at small companies involved in artificial intelligence…and also expecting gold mining small caps to start catching up with the gold price rise of the last few years.
There are also biotech and healthcare ideas that have been starved of liquidity…plus, a new wave of fintech and payment innovators that are waiting for the right conditions to expand.
It’s exciting stuff.
And as I mentioned earlier…

Now, you might be thinking that $99 seems oddly cheap for everything I’m giving you today…
Well, you should know that our company publishes premium investment advisories that cost more than 10 times as much on an annual basis.
So why have we made Australian Small-Cap Investigator so affordable?
Well, it makes sense for you as a customer, but it’s good for our business as well.
‘400% + on NXL. Very happy with that.’
— Paul Matthews
‘Ideas I don’t expect that often make gains. I doubled my investment in DroneShield. I have learned though that I do need to listen to Callum’s sell out advice timing.’
— Colin
‘I have followed you for a number of years now and you are one of the only services I still follow. I have invested in a number of your investment ideas and made profits as well as had similar investment sentiments confirmed. I will continue to be an avid reader!’
— Guy Anderton
‘Great service. Love Callum’s simple and contrarian view. I know there is a serious side to the job but he doesn't bog you down in too much detail.’
— Member from Melbourne
‘I like your service and read every word. I have bought some of your recommendations and done well thank you. Especially DroneShield. I got my outlay back and still hold more than half so thanks heaps.’
— Anthony
‘I have followed the small-cap portfolio very closely, and consequently have done very well out of that part of my portfolio.’
— Rick Knight-Gregson
‘Really happy with Callum’s work. He’s been picking some good winners in a tough market. Just as importantly his exit strategies have been timed well.’
— K James
‘Done really well, only started in February, made big wins 8 out of 10.’
— Plumber
You see, we don’t take on advertising deals, commissions, or kickbacks for any of the stocks we recommend.
Instead, our business is supported solely by our members.
That means if we don’t do a great job for you, we know you’re unlikely to stick around.
That’s why we’re incredibly confident in the results Australian Small-Cap Investigator can deliver — and has continued to deliver since we first launched it back in 2007.
In fact, ASI’s current record in terms of open recommendations is among the best of all our advisory services…especially given the performance of the wider market.
And, candidly, small cap investing is something that DOES need to be approached with caution.
It would be irresponsible to charge a thousand dollars a year for a service that people might find is too fast-paced for them.
Small caps are among the most volatile stocks on the Aussie market. That means they can rocket up AND down quite rapidly.
You can lose your invested capital if you don’t know what you’re doing.
That’s why I always advise taking risk-managed positions and never investing more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
That said, you don’t know the kind of upside potential on offer here until you give it a try for yourself…
Just imagine if you bagged an outlier return like 561% on Nuix, 866% on Zip Co, or 1,448% on Afterpay…
Your modest joining fee would’ve easily paid for itself many times over!
Now, it’s over to you…

So, I hope you’re as excited about this emerging opportunity as I am.
But like I said, this service honestly won’t suit everyone…
Investing in small companies — especially when they’re on the back of a really tough period like we’ve just seen — requires a unique psychological makeup.
You need…
- The guts to make speculative bets when others are playing it safe…
- The fortitude to withstand significant volatility and uncertainty…
- And the mindset to see great potential where others can only see disaster…
Remember, that’s exactly what happened with Nuix before it rocketed up 561%…

Let’s get cracking…

Callum Newman,
Editor, Australian Small-Cap Investigator
