Look to smaller caps for excellence August 7, 1999 Sonita Horvitch Financial Post Investors in the Canadian equity market will find some good opportunities among smaller- and mid-cap growth stocks, many of which are still trading at reasonable valuations, says Gerry Brockelsby, a partner in Marquest Investment Counsel Inc. of Toronto. "It will be these stocks that will outperform the market," says Mr. Brockelsby, who called for a rebound in the "much-neglected smaller-cap sector" in the column of May 8. He remains positive on the outlook for North American equity and bond markets. He considers there to be no inflation problem; therefore, North American interest rates are unlikely to go higher. "The U.S. economy is likely to slow in the second half of 1999, which will give the anxious bond market a reprieve." A growth manager, Mr. Brockelsby likes companies that dominate their niche, produce steady earnings growth and trade at multiples below those earnings growth rates. Turning to other mid- and smaller-cap stocks, Mr. Brockelsby has selected: - Wi-Lan Inc. (WIN/ASE) $8.25 ($12.15-$1.18). Based in Calgary, this company develops wireless data communications products and provides infrastructure and high-speed networking equipment. The application of its technology is very broadly based, says Mr. Brockelsby. Wi-Lan's can hold its own in a competitive market, he says. There will be considerable demand for its products from original equipment manufacturers. "From an investor's standpoint, there is a huge market for this product and the demand continues to explode."
