Growth driven by America's high-potential small-cap companies
Did you know?
Academic research by Fama and French identified a persistent 'size premium' in equity markets — the tendency for smaller companies to deliver higher long-term returns than larger ones. Small-cap companies are typically less followed by analysts, less efficiently priced, and more exposed to domestic economic conditions than large multinationals — creating both higher risk and, historically, higher reward. The S&P 600 Small Cap Index, which this ETF tracks, includes a profitability requirement not present in competing small-cap indices, giving it a quality tilt that has contributed to stronger historical performance relative to the broader Russell 2000.
