While small-cap equities often receive less attention than market giants, investors have increased their focus on the asset class of late; in July of this year, small-cap ETFs saw inflows of over £10 billion1, the second highest monthly investment volume ever recorded. Attractive valuations, along with expected reductions in interest rates, have led to growing investor interest in smaller companies.
On Thursday 19th September, join us for our Inside Track webinar. Speaking live, Senior Investment Analyst Joao Saraiva and Business Development Manager Matt Haigh will make the case for holding global small-cap index funds during challenging market periods.
Joao and Matt will provide expert perspectives on the trends driving the rise of small caps, and explain how investors can make the most of the expanding market. The pair will explore the valuation advantages of small caps; the benefits of global diversification in risk-adjusted performance; and the historical resilience of small-cap index funds, which tend to outperform their actively managed counterparts over time.
