FYI: Investors typically favor small-cap stocks for exciting growth prospects. The trade-off is that smaller companies are, historically, more volatile than their large-cap counterparts, making it difficult for skittish investors to embrace small caps.
Some small-cap exchange traded funds can smooth out some of the volatility associated with the asset class while not skimping on long-term total returns.
The O’Shares FTSE Russell Small Cap Quality Dividend ETF OUSM, -0.19% is one such ETF. The $133.48 million OUSM tracks the FTSE USA Small Cap ex Real Estate 2Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index
