TELL US
WHAT YOU
THINK

On 1/1/23, Co-CIO Francis Gannon joined host Oliver Renick on TD Ameritrade Network to discuss why small-caps look well positioned to shake off a difficult 2022.

Francis mentioned that small-cap valuations remain close to their lowest rate in 20 years versus large caps and noted that, prior to 2022, there were 24 previous years in which small caps had a negative calendar year. In 79% of the subsequent years, returns for the asset class were positive.

“We think small cap is quite due to shine over the next several years,” Francis said.
