Large US companies
Details
ETF description
This ETF invests in a broad range of small‑cap companies listed in the United States, tracking an index that represents the performance of U.S. small‑cap stocks. Small‑cap companies are generally smaller in size compared to large corporations and are often considered to have higher growth potential, but they also tend to come with increased volatility. The fund provides exposure to various sectors, including technology, healthcare, and consumer goods, offering a diversified approach to investing in smaller companies.
This ETF may appeal to investors who are looking for growth opportunities through smaller U.S. companies and are comfortable with the higher risks associated with small‑cap stocks.
