Deep dives

The Appeal of Small Cap Investing

Small cap investing involves companies that are generally valued below $5 billion, which are often overlooked by institutional investors. This disinterest presents unique opportunities for retail investors, as these smaller companies can be less efficient and less scrutinized. By navigating through less followed companies, investors can potentially uncover hidden gems that have significant growth potential. The lack of coverage by analysts means that there can be valuable insights to gain, allowing savvy investors to capitalize on opportunities where others see risk.
