Adventures in small-cap investing

Adventures in small-cap investing

"Being an analyst is the best job in the world," says Greg Wendt, who happens to be the longest-serving analyst in Capital Group history. Wendt, who is about to wrap up a 37-year career, shares tales from his time venturing into the wild world of small-cap stocks, leveraging his college job at a department store into an interview with Sam Walton, legendary founder of Walmart, and helping launch Capital Group's first-ever small-cap strategy. He explains how on-the-ground research can reveal a company's competitive edge, and how business leaders can win with passion and a focus on the details. For those needing a reminder of how investing can be fun as well as fruitful, this episode is for you.
