With New Inflation Data, Consider Small Cap Growth Options

Small cap stocks have continued to underperform the market this year. The closely-watched iShares Russell 2000 (IWM) ETF has jumped by just 0.7% this year while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) has soared by over 10.4%.

Love small cap stocks? IJT is a good alternative to the IWM ETF

The core idea of IJT is to offer exposure to the S&P 600 constituents with growth and momentum characteristics. This is not a perfectionist strategy, so undervalued SMID names might qualify as well. While having a substantial footprint in healthy EPS growth stories, IJT's portfolio nonetheless has issues on the growth front, with something to criticize about quality and value.

IJT: This Growth Strategy Has Vulnerabilities Worth Addressing

iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth ETF offers a cost-effective option for growth-focused investors with $5.7 billion in assets under management. Small-cap growth stocks have the potential for outsized returns due to rapid growth and reinvestment of earnings. The fund's diverse holdings and competitive expense ratio make it worth considering for investors seeking high-growth potential in the small-cap sector.

IJT: Small-Cap Growth Looks Interesting Now

Small-cap stocks have performed poorly this year, with the S&P 600 only gaining just over 4% compared to the S&P 500's 20% YTD gain. Small-cap stocks have been impacted by declining earnings, with S&P 600 earnings expected to fall by 14% this year.

Small-Caps Are Due For A Comeback In 2024

IJT targets U.S. small caps capable of delivering strong sales, EPS growth, and momentum, selected from the S&P 600 index. Nevertheless, upon deeper inspection, IJT is a mid-cap-heavy fund despite its small-cap focus; in the current iteration, it is overweight in IT (18.8%), industrials (18.5%), and financials (15.4%).

High Dividend Yield Still Leader For U.S. Factor Returns In 2022

Since the June 30 update, growth has outperformed value across the large, mid and small-cap asset classes. Looking at the annual returns, the performance premium for large-cap growth for the 5, 10 and 15 year time frames is still pretty sizable.

StyleBox Update: Growth Has Outperformed Value Since June 30 '22

VYM has certainly suffered so far in 2022, but the ETF's nearly 13% year to date haircut compares favorably against the broad stock market's 22.6% tumble via SPY. Momentum for the factor funds, unsurprisingly, is deeply negative.

Between May 15 '22 and June 30 '22, value deteriorated more than growth on a percentage basis probably due to the collapse in energy and crude oil in June '22. Across the rest of the style boxes, value held up well into mid-June '22 when weakness in energy and commodities took the value style lower.

Style Box Update: Growth Across All Market Caps Remains Out Of Favor

The broad market via SPDR S&P 500 is down more than 12% this year. Growth stocks generally are having a tough time in 2022 to no small degree due to the reversal of fortunes of tech shares.
