Foreign Small/Mid Cap Blend Equities ETFs

Most of these ETFs invest in stocks of companies that are deemed to have a small market capitalization size, generally between $300 million and $10 billion and are non-U.S. equities. This category is ideal for aggressive investors who are looking for exposure to up-and-coming blue chips from developed markets. Because small caps and mid-cap stocks to some degree carry greater risk from a capitalization and competition standpoint, we would lean on this category being best for aggressive investors.
