Best Small Companies (2026)

2026 Best Small Company Selection Show. Mark Robertson and Ken Kavula present our Best Small Companies for 2026, celebrating another year of excellent performance realized over the last 16 years. Our theme for 2025 was "Return of The Right Stuff" and "BELIEVE" -- a philosophy and steadying influence that has served us well _(market-beating profitability)_ for more than two decades. Join us as we identify actionable ideas for smaller companies in this promising field of opportunity.

In the 2026 Best Small Companies selection webinar, Manifest Investing founders Mark Robertson and Ken Kavula review their annual investment strategy and performance, highlighting their approach to identifying promising smaller companies. The presenters emphasized their long-term track record of market outperformance, noting they have beaten the market 9 out of 11 years with an impressive 17.7% annualized return. The discussion focused on their methodology of finding smaller, faster-growing companies that offer potentially significant returns while maintaining a disciplined, 'reasonable and considered' investment approach.
