Planet Microcap Podcast | Microcap Investing Strategies

My guest on the show today is Asif Suria, Founder of Inside Arbitrage and Co-Host of the Special Situations Report podcast. In this episode, Asif shares his evolution from traditional value investing to a diversified, event-driven strategy that includes merger arbitrage, spin-offs, buybacks, insider activity, and more. We dive into his “three-legged stool” process — combining event triggers, a 14-factor quant model, and deep qualitative research — and how it’s helped him navigate both opportunities and challenges in special situations. Asif also walks through real-world examples, highlighting lessons learned from his biggest wins and most humbling setbacks.
