Matthew Kidman's top ideas for a small-cap recovery in 2024

While the macro is important, it's the rate cycle that investors should have their eyes glued to over the next few months.
That's according to Centennial Asset Management's Matthew Kidman, who argues that while the global economy is slowing down, the yield on the US 10-Year Bond has recently cooled off.
This is good news for equities, Kidman says, particularly with inflation trending downwards.
If rates have peaked, which Kidman believes they have in the US, investors should follow the interest rate cycle and position their portfolios to leverage into a better economy in 12 month's time.
In this Views from the Top interview, Kidman dives deeper into why he is bullish on the outlook for small caps, the sectors and stocks that could bounce from here, as well as why he believes investors should be long right now.
