AI, momentum and small cap winners with Katie Hudson from Yarra Capital Management

Australian small caps are being reshaped by artificial intelligence, higher interest rates and a sharp reassessment of growth companies. For long-term investors, that disruption may be creating opportunities as well as risk. Yarra Capital Management’s Katie Hudson examines where AI-related returns could emerge in the Australian market, why momentum can distort short-term valuations, and what the recent growth sell-off means for active investors. The discussion also explores how an experienced small-cap team separates structural winners from market noise, and why fundamental research matters when economic conditions, tax settings and investor expectations are all changing at once.
