Summary
- While stocks of large US companies have done well over the last few years, stocks of small US companies are negative.
- Year-to-date, the cap-weighted S&P 500 has returned 3 times the return of the S&P 500 Equal-Weight.
- Although the S&P 500 and a subset of stocks within the S&P 500 have done well, a deeper look within the index and across asset classes shows that most of the market performance has been driven by a small number of stocks.
