1. Small Caps
Why i prefer small caps:
▫️Statistically Small Caps performed better than Large Caps in the past (see Tweet below)
▫️Law of large numbers
▫️No/less institutional investors
▫️easier to get (direct) contact to management
▫️secular trends are driven by fundamental changes in the economy such as evolving consumer behavior, demographic changes of the development of new tech

How do small-caps vs. large caps perform during a recession?
I just read 2 interesting studies regarding this topic and i want to share the most interesting parts in this thread👇🏻
The study from L.N. Switzer (2010) is about Canada and US, but i will focus on the US:
I think most of you know, that small caps oupterformed large caps over time. In the 84-year holding period from 1926-2010 the difference amounted to over 2.03% per year.
The table below shows how small caps vs. large caps performed during different economic cycles.
Only between 1983 and 2000 the large caps performed better than the small caps.
But how exactly does the small-cap premium behave over the business cycle?
