Tyndall Asset Management (Tyndall AM) has announced the appointment of Scott Hudson as deputy portfolio manager for the firm’s Australian small-caps fund.
In his new role, Hudson will work alongside portfolio manager James Nguyen who maintains overall responsibility for leading the strategy.
He brings over two decades of experience in both domestic and international equity markets, specialising in small-cap investments. He joins Tyndall AM from MST Financial, where he served as senior research analyst.
Prior to his time at MST, Hudson led the small-cap team as CLSA, where he covered a wide range of industry sectors. He has also held senior positions at Citibank Australia and at Morgan Stanley’s London office, through which he developed a global perspective and analytical expertise.
Commenting on the appointment, head of Australian equities at Tyndall AM, Tim Johnston, said the move reflects the firm’s commitment to enhancing investment capabilities within the small-cap sector.
“His depth of experience and proven research acumen will be instrumental in identifying high-quality opportunities and delivering long-term value for our investors,” Johnston said.
Small-cap investing has attracted renewed investor interest in recent months, according to some managers, with the Small Ordinaries Index significantly outperforming the large-cap index in September.
Launched in 2023, the Tyndall Australian Small Companies Fund seeks to uncover compelling opportunities in the small-cap segment, employing a disciplined, research-driven approach.
Since inception, the fund has delivered returns of 20.65 per cent per annum, outperforming the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index by 581 bps on a net basis.
