A Small-Cap ETF specializes in investing in stocks of small-capitalization companies, typically with market caps between $250 million and $2 billion in market cap. These ETFs cater to investors seeking exposure to the potential growth of smaller, less-established firms. While small-cap stocks may exhibit higher volatility, Small-Cap ETFs offer diversification benefits and the opportunity for investors to participate in the higher-risk, higher-reward segment of the equity market. By providing a focused and targeted investment strategy, Small-Cap ETFs contribute to portfolio diversification, allowing investors to tailor their risk exposure based on their risk tolerance and investment objectives within the context of the broader market.
