The chapter explores the hurdles faced in Small Cap investing, including the underperformance of the Russell 2000 index and the lack of top companies in this index. It delves into the unique dynamics and limitations small cap companies encounter, such as the lack of institutional investment and coverage by Wall Street analysts. The discussion also delves into the impact of institutional investors on small cap companies and the importance of transparent communication for these companies.
With small caps, come great thrills. What about great rewards?

- If the disappearance of “the small-cap premium” is a win for investors.
- How to navigate environments with limited feedback.
- The value (or lack thereof) of book value.
