Eiger Capital

The three co-founders — Stephen Wood, Victor Gomes, and David Haddad — jointly manage the portfolio. They have worked together since 2011 and operate without a separate analyst team, making all research and position-sizing decisions themselves. The firm reports no separate CIO or investment committee beyond the three named portfolio managers.

Eiger is a partner boutique within Fidante, a multi-boutique investment management platform that is part of Challenger Limited. Fidante provides Eiger with distribution, compliance, legal, and operational infrastructure in exchange for a share of revenue, while the Eiger team retains full autonomy over investment decisions. Institutional enquiries for Eiger are directed to George Poulakis at Challenger.

No. Eiger runs a single strategy: high-conviction, style-neutral Australian small-company equities. The firm was built to concentrate solely on that mandate, and its partnership with Fidante is designed to support one capacity-constrained boutique strategy rather than a multi-product asset-gathering platform.

Eiger describes its process as high conviction and style neutral. It does not separate the portfolio into value and growth sleeves, nor does it track a benchmark's sector weights. The managers build a concentrated portfolio of Australian small-cap stocks they judge to be mispriced, regardless of where those names sit in a style taxonomy.

Eiger's sole focus on Australian small companies means capacity is naturally limited. The firm had raised and was managing approximately A$895 million by January 2026 (per the firm, January 2026). It has publicly signaled no intent to launch additional strategies, and its operational structure as a three-person investment team on the Fidante platform aligns with maintaining a manageable asset base.

The firm does not publicly detail its specific sourcing channels, but as a three-person team managing a concentrated Australian small-company portfolio, the process is intensive and bottom-up. The managers' multi-year history working together in this asset class suggests a research network and screening process built on their combined experience in the small-cap segment dating back to at least 2011.

Eiger operates across individual, wholesale, high-net-worth, and institutional channels. Georges Poulakis at Challenger is the named contact for institutions and asset consultants, indicating active institutional distribution. The firm's website provides separate contact paths for individual investors, financial advisers, and institutions.
