Investors seek gems among unloved small-caps
U.S. small-cap stocks, highly sensitive to the fate of President Donald Trump's policy ambitions, may face more selling pressure, leaving small-cap investors scrambling for quality names and more resilient sectors. Small-caps, which are more reliant on U.S. policy and economic conditions than are large multinationals, have fallen recently on rising doubts that Trump can deliver on pro-business promises such as tax cuts. After outperforming in late 2016 after Trump's election, the S&P 600 index of smaller companies (.SPCY) has fallen 1.4 percent in 2017 while the Russell 2000 (.RUT), which includes smaller firms, is up 1.4 percent versus the S&P 500's 9.2 percent rise.
