Small caps are part of the market portfolio and provide important diversification benefits to portfolios of large cap stocks.
Small caps are an important component of the total market—investors need a reason to exclude them, not a reason to include
them. They tend to behave differently from large caps, thus providing important diversification benefits to portfolios
of large cap stocks. Without these diversification benefits, returns of the equity market may not be captured in the most
effective way.
