Investors remain optimistic about the steady recovery of the economy, backed by mass rollouts of COVID-19 vaccinations and stimulus checks to undo the financial impact of the pandemic. In this environment, small-cap stocks are gaining the attention of the Wall Street. The success of small-cap companies is often used as an indicator of the duration of a bull market, according to Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) senior investment strategist Brian Jacobsen. Small-cap outperformance also indicates that the bull market is only in its early stages.

Due to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, investors appear to be interested in investing in stocks that are undervalued compared to their earning potential. Small-cap stocks are gaining momentum as optimism for the post-pandemic economy grows. The Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks has gained 70.85% in the last year, compared to 44.5% for the large-cap S&P 500 index. The S&P Small Cap 600 Index has gained 78.27% over the past twelve months, compared to the 65.27% for the S&P 500 Index.


Why Invest in Small-Cap Stocks?
Investing in small-cap stocks, especially during a global pandemic, offers huge growth potential while still ensuring long-term viability since these businesses typically concentrate on long-term ventures. Yet, investing in small-cap companies is riskier than investing in large-cap companies. According OSAM Research, small company stocks have delivered a compounded average annual return of 12% from 1926 to 2019, whereas large-company stocks have returned 10%. Although small-cap companies offer long-term growth prospects and higher returns, these companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse events and bearish sentiments due to lack of capital, unlike large-cap companies.
