I've recently recorded a new podcast with my good friends and fellow private investors Graham Neary and Mark Simpson.

In the latest episode of the Investor's Round Table we discussed UK small-cap shares on our radar, including:

  • Small-cap groundworks specialist and possible value candidate Van Elle Holdings (VANL)
  • Property group Macfarlane (MACF) - my suggestion, which I've previously covered in depth here
  • Estate agency business Property Franchise Group (TPFG) - and also Belvoir (BLV), as was prior to the recent merger of the two firms

As always, we agreed on some points and did not agree on others...

We rounded off the discussion with a look at interest rates:

  • would we buy shares as a speculation on interest rates falling?
  • are interest rates something we worry about generally when investing?
  • what kinds of business are likely to be most affected by changing interest rates?
