FYI: Small-cap companies and funds have been buoyed for much of this year by the view that smaller, domestically focused companies were safe from the negative consequences of a trade war. But last week, as the stock market focused on rising interest rates and their impact on growth, small caps tanked.
Click through to see the five best performers last week and then the five worst performers among small-cap funds with more than $100 million in assets. All are in negative territory for the week, it’s just a matter of how negative they are.
Data are from CFRA.
