Why Invest?
There is greater opportunity for sector diversification in the Small and Mid Cap sectors. At the larger end of the market, the Index is heavily weighted towards financials which is largely made up of banks.
We believe a well diversified portfolio should hold a combination of large cap, mid-cap and small cap stocks as well as a blend of Value and Growth. Contact believes that small cap and mid cap companies are often at the point in their business life cycle where revenue and earnings are rising at a faster rate.
