Small-Cap ETFs Could be Volatile in October
The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) , which tracks the widely observed Russell 2000 Index of small-cap names, and other small-cap ETFs are coming off solid performances in September, but some market observers believe smaller stocks could encounter some October turbulence. “The Russell 2000’s history shows that investors shouldn’t expect much from the index in October,” reports Nicholas Jasinski for Barron's. Investors looking to remain engaged with small caps in less volatile fashion should consider the ProShares Russell 2000 Dividend Growers ETF (CBOE:SMDV) , which has a history of being less volatile than standard small-cap funds.
