Get Active Small Cap Exposure as Russell 2000 Hits New High
The Russell 2000 recent all-time high is proving that big things can come in small packages this holiday season. Given the index's recent run, it's an ideal time to get active exposure to funds like the Neuberger Berman Small-Mid Cap ETF (NBSM).
Reallocate 1% of Your Large-Cap Exposure to Boost Returns 20%
The valuation gap between large-cap stocks and small-cap stocks alongside growing small-cap tailwinds leave the asset class favorably positioned looking ahead. Investors seeking to reallocate to small-caps to capture potential outsized returns would do well to consider the Neuberger Berman Small-Mid Cap ETF (NBSM).
NBSM: Can This Active SMID-Cap ETF Justify Its 25.52x Forward P/E?
NBSM is a relatively new active small/mid-cap blend fund with a 0.74% expense ratio and $199 million in assets under management. I don't always mind high-fee funds with this size segment, and I appreciate the advisor's quality screens, which were made apparent after evaluating NBSM's numerous quality features. NBSM's 1.04 five-year beta is also one of the lowest in its category, but its 25.52x forward P/E is difficult to justify for the mediocre sales and earnings growth offered.
SMIDcaps Outperform in Q3; Add Exposure With NBSM
SMIDcaps outperformed large-cap growth equities during the third quarter. Investors rotated into industries with more interest-rate risk during the third quarter in anticipation of rate cuts from the Fed.
Lower Rates Could Set Stage for SMIDcap Outperformance
Lower interest rates may set the stage for the outperformance of SMIDcap ETFs. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Wednesday, reducing the target range for the federal funds rate by one half percentage point.
This Active SMIDcap ETF Could Ride Rate Cuts
On the lookout for a new ETF to ride rate cuts arriving as soon as next month? It may be worth going for a small-mid cap ETF with an active view.
