Small-Cap Labor Day Advantage: Just the Numbers
By Almanac Trader | August 16, 2017
Yesterday we noted the tendency of small-cap stocks to outperform large-cap stocks around the Labor Day holiday. Today we present the numbers based upon the Russell 1000 and Russell 2000 indexes from 1979 to 2016. Small-cap advantage typically begins on or around the 18th trading day in August and lasts until the 12th trading day in September. On average the Russell 2000 has outperformed the Russell 1000 by 0.8% during this time span with the Russell 2000 outperforming 71.1% of the time over the last 38 years.
