      U.S. small-cap stocks led the market forward at the end of 2024, where November was the fourth best month for small-cap stocks since 1926. Is this set to continue in 2025?

      In this video, Michele Ward, Portfolio Specialist, explores the factors driving this recent momentum, including a robust M&A landscape, attractive valuations, and scope for lesser regulatory burdens under Trump that could favour small-caps going forward. However, challenges such as inflation and Fed policy remain, highlighting the ongoing importance of stock selection within the asset class.

      Discover how our team is navigating these dynamics to identify the best opportunities for the future.
