TTAN - TimesSquare U.S. Small Cap Growth Strategy Q4 2024 Commentary
2025-03-04 11:01:00 ET
Summary
- Entering 2024, expectations were that elections and central banks dramatically would affect prices and sentiment in global markets. Each did, especially in the fourth quarter.
- The Russell 1000 Index’s 3% performance in the fourth quarter added to significant prior gains, capping a 25% calendar year showing (large caps bested small and mid caps for the quarter and year).
- Among U.S. small to mid cap growth stocks in the fourth quarter, the best returns were found among those with the highest risk (beta or volatility), lowest quality (return on equity), or highest valuation (P/E).
