What Sets the Russell 2000 Apart?
The Russell 2000 index, a measure of small-cap US stocks in the Russell 3000, has historically demonstrated strength during times of economic turbulence. Its focus on the universe of U.S. small capitalization stocks positions it uniquely in the market.
Performance Analysis
Analyzing the performance of the S&P 500 versus the Russell 2000 ETF reveals interesting dynamics. While the S&P 500 typically includes larger, well-established companies, the Russell 2000 Index follows the performance of around 2,000 U.S. small-cap stocks. This diversity can be a key factor in its recent outperformance.
Comparing Differences
The differences between the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 are noteworthy. The Russell 2000 serves as a useful tool for tracking and profiting from the universe of U.S. small capitalization stocks, whereas the S&P 500 leans towards more tech and growth-focused companies.
Market Outlook
According to analysts, the small-caps index is expected to rise by 14% in the next 12 months, outpacing the projected 9% climb for the S&P 500. This forecast aligns with the recent trend of the Russell 2000 outperforming the largest-cap U.S. index.
