In this video I'm going to tell you why you should think carefully about owning small cap ETFs. You probably won’t be surprised if I tell you that small-cap stocks, in general, have outperformed large-cap stocks over the long-term, even on a risk-adjusted basis, with risk measured as standard deviation. This is well-documented around the world and over time. Small caps were the first market anomaly that challenged the capital asset pricing model and resulted in today’s multi-factor models for asset pricing. My name is Ben Felix, Associate Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital.
