For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Tobias Carlisle, the Founder and Managing Partner of Carbon Beach Asset Management LLC, and he serves as Chief Investment Officer. I met Tobias at a conference recently, where we discussed doing an interview for the podcast. I didn’t know much about Tobias at the time, but upon further research, along with his work at Carbon Beach Asset Management, he’s also a published author having written three books on topics ranging from: deep value investing, activism, concentrated investing, and contrarian investing. These are all topics I want to learn about from him for the podcast. The goal for this episode is to learn about what deep value investing means, and a couple other key phrases we’ve heard a few times on this podcast and how they relate to MicroCap stock investing.

- What does “deep value” investing mean?
- There’s a couple key phrases that have been mentioned on the podcast: “activism” and “contrarian” – what do these terms mean and why are they relevant to MicroCap investing?
- In his book, “Deep Value”, Tobias discusses why activist investors and other contrarians battle for control of losing corporations, what is the reason for this?

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Bill Hench, Portfolio Manager at Royce Funds. For more than 40 years, Royce & Associates, investment advisor to The Royce Funds, has been managing MicroCap, Small-Cap and small/midcap portfolios. Bill and his partner, Buzz Zaino, run the MicroCap Opportunity Fund and the Opportunity Fund. I wanted to speak with Bill to get his perspective on MicroCap investing. A couple things stood out in our interview, including: Bill and Buzz’s four themes for portfolio construction, his definition of “cheap” stocks, but I thought Bill’s point about diversification vs. concentration as a MicroCap investor was also intriguing. He brought this point up multiple times throughout our interview. The goal for this episode is to learn about Bill’s approach to portfolio construction, advice for new MicroCap investors, his stance on diversification vs. concentration, and much more!
