SMALL CAPS
October 2023

Long-Term Case for Investing in Small Caps

Small-cap stocks take on more risk than their large-cap counterparts, but for patient long-term investors, that risk may be compensated with outsized returns. Historically, small-cap stocks have averaged a 10.5% return, outperforming their large-cap counterparts by 2.5% on an average annualized basis. This has been mainly driven by their higher growth rates, domestic focus, and smaller size and scale, making them more innovative and nimble, as well as their economically sensitive nature.
