The Small-caps Bellwether (With Video)
When new clients first come to our firm, we often find their portfolios packed with large-cap stocks, companies that are valued at more than $10 billion. These are the companies that comprise the S&P 500. Although large-cap stock is a good place to start, once you begin to build a portfolio, it is essential to include small-cap stocks with $300 million to $2 billion in market cap. These companies are much smaller, so they have more significant potential to deliver outsized returns than larger companies.
