In this video, we take a look at the reasons why some investors may tilt their portfolio towards small-cap US companies, and the historical contexts where that strategy can potentially outperform. We also explore what defines small caps, how market capitalisation ranges are categorised, and the role small caps play in major stock indices. To round things off, we look at the risks and challenges of investing in smaller, less-established businesses.
