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 Australias largest and most comprehensive Microcap event, showcasing the services, products, strategies and people driving todays growth companies. The event will provide investors with an opportunity to hear firsthand from the CEOs of 24 of Australias 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 years 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 years conference include Australias largest pure-play satellite communications company, NewSat Limited (ASX: NWT), Australias 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 Australias largest microcap event, Craig Dunstan, Executive Director of D H Flinders said: We are very pleased to be in our 4 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.
