As part of the deal, Christopher Cuesta – principal, portfolio manager at THB – will travel to Australia and New Zealand in February 2014 to meet prospective investors, consultants and other interested parties.
Cuesta said: "I think Australian investors should be attracted to the US micro cap sector of the market because of the potential outsized returns and benefits to their overall asset allocation strategy."
Steven Hall CEO Brookvine said: "One of the least contentious issues in share market investing is that company size matters. Over a full market cycle a well diversified portfolio of high quality micro cap companies run by top quality management teams should significantly outperform large stock portfolios of similar quality.
"The US is the deepest and broadest source of micro cap stocks in the world yet few Australian investors currently have direct exposure to this segment," he added.
