FYI: U.S. small cap ETFs have delivered a good run in 2019, but on a relative basis, they continue to underperform large caps this year even as the market makes new highs. This could be about to change, some say.
The recent relative weakness in small caps really kicked off in the last quarter of 2018 when the market took a downturn. Small-cap stocks are very sensitive to the domestic growth story, and concerns of a slowdown in the U.S. economy really took hold late last year, weighing on the segment.
