Sizing Up Small Caps

In this edition, Lori discusses Small Caps, both her outlook for the Russell 2000 and performance trends in the top stocks of Small Cap portfolio managers. Tactically, she expects Small Caps to continue outperforming Large Caps as long as the broader US equity market remains in rebound mode, and to underperform Large Caps in any pullbacks. In terms of the performance of Small Cap managers’ favorite stocks, she’s seen several sharp reversals in performance recently, with the most popular stocks outperforming strongly YTD, lagging in the late March – early June rebound, and a return of outperformance in Thursday’s sharp sell-off.
