- Small cap stocks tend to outperform the broad market over the long term. However, during crisis periods and recessions, they also tend to crash more. What makes small caps attractive right now is that they have a low valuation relative to the rest of the US market. So in this video, I discuss the differences between small cap indices and also show you the cheapest UK and US funds that track them. I also examine how small cap funds have outperformed in the past and explain what risks you need to look out for.

I'd love to see you do a similar video for crypto small caps :)
Thanks for picking up on this subject Ramin. Would be great to see more material in a future on factor investing.
Much appreciated and very informative! I've been happy with my Avantis SCV ETF but always good to know about other options
Glad it was helpful!
The SPDR small cap value funds USSC and ZPRX are worth a look. Not much choice for UCITS funds unfortunately.
Excellent information and analysis as always; thanks, Ramin!
Very good video.. I have some CT threadneedle US small cap which has done well except for recently because of the bank crises
Thanks for that Ramin. I'd be interested to see you break down emerging markets in a similar way and whether you feel a passive tracker fund or active fund is better value.....or to just hold EMs in a multi asset fund. decisions decisions eh?
Thanks for the great video. Do you have any particular preference between ETFs vs index funds?
another GREAT analysis. Thank you for your hard work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks for the great analysis! I'm wondering what do you have to say about midcaps? they seem to have similar valuations and little better performance over the long run but also seem less volatile than small caps. i wonder what could be the reason for that
Really informative, thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Some great visuals in there Ramin 👍
Thanks, @Jon Audis
Hi Ramin,
Thank you for the great content as ever. Given UK valuations are lower than the US, and given the relatively overvalued USD relative to GBP, is it likely a better long term bet to invest in UK small caps rather than US small caps at the moment?
Excellent video Ramin.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Ramin. What percentage of a global ETF portfolio would you suggest allocating to a small cap ETF? Many thanks.
Great video Ramin. We are new to your channel.
Is there any particular region which you feel offers better small cap value?
UK, Europe, Japan?
We keep reading that UK value stocks are the trade of the decade…?
great topic! RYLD is a russell 2000 covered call fund. ive been adding to this recently thinking things will be choppy but still want small cap exposure
Thanks so much.
Hi Ramin, I'm just wondering how something like the MSCI World Small Cap Index (e.g. ticker WLDS) stacks up against Russell 2000 or S&P 600 - is it also under valued? Thanks
L&G Russell 2000 US Small Cap UCITS ETF currently tracks Russell 2000 Quality Factor Index. It has some quality tilt which makes it unique among Russell 2000 UCITS funds.
Do you know what the ratio between small caps and all caps in all cap global indices such as the FTSE global All Cap or MSCI AWCI IMI is? I am trying to combine the iShares MSCI World Small Cap ETF and the iShares MSCI ACWI in my InvestEngine ISA (there is no all cap ETF there at the moment). I set the weightings to 0.12% and 0.88% because I read somewhere that "global equities account for approximately $70 trillion in assets, with almost 12% covered by the developed small-cap segment" (but that was an old article).
Any update on your momentum based portfoilio?
AH! Ramin here when you need him, such a coincidence I was just looking for a small cap ETF
Hi @Kvurenukri Daehd Moroz I'm pleased I could help. Thanks Ramin
Of course you were.
@@tastypymp1287 Yes I was, and I chose the european small caps etf for myself
What Vanguard global small cap fund, for UK investors
Excellent video! It would be great if you can help us to build a portfolio for a JISA account. What are the best ETFs to buy for the next 18 years at least, etc.
hi Ramin. I was looking for small cap value ex-US ETF (developed and/or emergency markets - similar to VSS ETF) for EU investor and preferably EUR hedged but didn’t succeeded so far. maybe you have any recommendation?
Large cap growth has outperformed for over 10 years so fund managerd do not launch small cap value funds. When SCV is fashionable they will launch funds at the worst time for investors but the best time for managers to attract AUM.
Is it possible to access any of these funds in an ISA wrapper? If they are only available via ETFs, is there any platform where I can automate a fixed monthly amount to be paid into the fund? Many thanks :)

The best Small Cap ETF is AVUV or AVDV, by far
Why?
VBR
Do you really need that filter for profitability that the 600 gives over the russell 2000? At the end of the day you're diversified over a tonne of different conpanies?
Also, why so much cheaper in the US. Larger market with more investors making it easier to charge a small fee and still be a profitable fund

Best Small Cap Funds (for the Birds).
The Financial Investment Industrial Complex will never stop trying to make you buy their products and services.
Never.
Why is your analyses so biased towards the US
You are based in the UK so should focus toward the FTSE
Maybe because the US has > 60% of the global market and the UK is around 4%
Why should he?
His location has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on what geographical market he wants to focus on.
That's an absurd assertion.
I agree he does talk about the us markets most of the time. I actually thought he lived in America 🇺🇸 yes uk Europe would be a make a change.
@@dubsdolby9437 Why not set up your own channel or look elsewhere?
@@tastypymp1287 what are you a fan boy or something ?🙄
Checked out the S&P 400 ETF, but could not find high dividend version ticker.
Most have DIV yield 1-2%, no bueno for me
