A Micro-Cap ETF concentrates its investment focus on the stocks of companies characterized by very small market capitalizations, typically between $50 million and $300 million in market capitalization. By honing in on these nascent entities, the ETF provides investors with a unique avenue to tap into the potential growth associated with micro-cap stocks. While offering the allure of undiscovered gems and untapped potential, Micro-Cap ETFs are often associated with higher volatility and risk.
