I had reported on it here in the „Schlussgong“ on a daily basis: At the end of November I attended the largest and most important analyst and investor event of the year in Frankfurt. This is the „Deutsche Eigenkapitalforum“ (EKF), which has been organized by Deutsche Börse AG since 1996.

Together with my analyst team, I followed numerous company presentations and at the end compiled a list of my favorites for the coming year. More on that soon. First, however, some background information on the EKF:

The Deutsche Eigenkapitalforum in detail At the Deutsche Eigenkapitalforum this year, around 250 companies presented themselves to a variety of analysts, investors and journalists over three days. There were over 4,000 individual and group conversations between executives and investors.

For the companies that presented themselves on site, the Deutsche Eigenkapitalforum is one of the most important dates of the year in search of new investors. In addition to the company presentations and question and answer sessions, there are also individual and group conversations between executives and investors.

Many hits in the past! In recent years, investing in my small cap favorites has usually been very worthwhile. For example, there have been several acquisitions with attractive premiums.

From my small cap selection for 2023 published in December 2022, the software specialist GK Software was taken over this year. This brought my readers high double-digit profits after only a few weeks.

From my small cap selection for 2020 published in December 2020, the technology company Schaltbau and the real estate specialist S Immo were taken over with an attractive takeover premium. My readers also profited from this with significant double-digit profits.

Overall, my six small cap favorites brought my readers, for example, returns of +40%, +47%, +38%, +60% in the past years. Individual values have in some cases yielded triple-digit annual returns, such as the IT and software specialist GFT with +152% in 2021.

Secure my small cap favorites for 2024 This week, the special study with my small cap favorites for 2024 was published as part of my stock exchange service „Der Depot-Optimierer“.
