For 40 Years, Small Caps Still Safest Bet in Stocks

posted on Mar 18, 09 12:53PM

From CNBC: General info but maybe those who browse these pages with larger portfolios might take a look at the small cap world!

Some highlights:

  • "Regardless of time horizon, small stocks offered the best risk/reward potential to investors, while gold offered the worst," Richard Bernstein.
  • The Standard & Poor's 500 has seen negative 12-month returns 42 percent of the time since 2000. That stands in stark contrast to the 1970s and '80s, when the S&P had only a 1 percent chance of turning in a negative 12-month return. Since 2000, the Russell 2000 small-cap index has lost 22 percent, but small-caps overall have proven to be less risky.
  • "They lead the way out of recession and in a big way, and that's when you get a lot of that excess performance," Adriana Posada, portfolio manager of the American Beacon Small Cap Value Fund.

    That trend has portfolio managers buying small caps, but not with abandon.
