Small Cap Blend ETFs
Most of these ETFs tend to invest across the spectrum of U.S. industries, with market caps generally between $300 million and $2 billion. The ETFs may also own various asset classes such as bonds, currencies, and more. The current stock market environment has been kind to small cap investors and we certainly think a small cap blend approach lessens some of the risk investors tend to get with small cap names. Therefore, we see this category as being suited well for moderate investors, with the understanding small caps offer more volatility and competitive risk from their lower market capitalization position.
