In this episode of FM Radio, Elston Portfolio Managers Justin Woerner and Gary Merkel unpack the rapidly evolving world of AI and what it means for investors, particularly in the small cap space.
They explore the real shift happening beneath the surface, from generative AI to agentic systems, and how this is driving both opportunity and disruption across software businesses. They discuss the impact on productivity, the pressure on traditional business models, and why not all tech companies are created equal in an AI-driven world. We also dive into recent volatility in small caps, the divergence between US and Australian tech, and the characteristics that define resilient companies in this new era.
Curious about where AI opportunities and risks are emerging in the market? Tune in to find out.
