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.
