Barron’s published a Q&A article recently with small-cap growth investor Rayna Lesser Hannaway, a portfolio manager with Polen Capital, an investment management firm with more than $61 billion in assets under management.
The headline -- Small-Cap Stocks Have Been Crushed. 3 With Big Potential. -- describes perfectly the performance of small-cap stocks in recent years. They’ve been crushed. In the past five years, the S&P SmallCap 600 Index is up 11.7%, less than half that of the large-cap S&P 500.
