Respected fund manager Wilson Asset Management (WAM) has recently identified two ASX shares that it thinks are buys.
WAM operates several listed investment companies (LICs). Some focus on larger companies like
WAM Leaders Ltd (ASX: WLE), whilst others go for smaller companies like
WAM Microcap targets small cap ASX shares with a market capitalisation under $300 million at the time of acquisition.
WAM says WAM Microcap targets the most exciting undervalued growth opportunities in the Australian microcap market.
The WAM Microcap portfolio has delivered gross returns (that’s before fees, expenses and taxes) of 25% per annum since inception in June 2017, which is superior to the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index average return of 11.6%.

Identifying a business that’s earlier on in its growth journey may mean it’s possible to capture more capital growth.
Here are three smaller businesses with growth potential:
City Chic is a retail ASX share that sells plus-size clothing, footwear and accessories to women.
It adapted to COVID-19 conditions by ramping up its online sales, which grew 113.5% in FY20 and represented 65% of total sales. Fund manager Chris Prunty from QVG Capital thinks that the e-commerce theme will continue to grow after COVID-19 has passed. For a business like City Chic, the small cap ASX share’s ability to sell products online underlines its ability to build a market-leading position for itself.
