Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Small-cap stocks and exchange-traded funds have delivered impressive post-Election Day performances. For example, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P SmallCap 600 Index are each higher by nearly 5 percent over the past 90 days. Some international small-cap ETFs have been doing even better over the past three months. During that time, the Vanguard FTSE All-Wd Ex US Small Cap ETF VSS, -0.12% has surged 7.6 percent. VSS represents a cost-effective, liquid option for investors looking for highly diverse exposure to ex-U.S. small-cap equities.
