Welcome to Scout, a podcast from SouthernSun Asset Management. SouthernSun is a Memphis based firm that invests in Small-cap and SMID-cap businesses worldwide. We aim to invest our clients’ capital in companies that exhibit three key characteristics: Niche Dominance, Management Adaptability, and Financial Flexibility. We believe that time is a friend to companies that exhibit these traits. We take a hands-on approach to our work, which leads us to factories, trade shows, and meetings all over the world. We want to take you along with us as we study high-quality companies that fit our unique investment approach.
