Like most investors, one of your top goals has been to enjoy a financially secure retirement at whatever age you choose. That being the case, it stands to reason that your retirement “nest egg” should ideally generate above-market returns, often with below-market risk.

I’ve found that small-cap stocks offer the best opportunities.

When a crazed global landscape is fueling the appeal of domestic, small-cap stocks that tend to be insulated from the threat of trade war and a strong dollar for example.

Tax cuts and deregulation have boosted small cap stocks because smaller companies derive revenue domestically.

JPMorgan U.S. equity strategist Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, as quoted by Forbes even noted, “We continue to recommend small-caps as a ‘catch-all trade’ for its high cyclical, reflation and tax policy exposures, as well as lower sensitivity to ongoing trade risk.”

To gain the most exposure to small cap stocks, ETFs are an option.

Each offers diversification among some of the top small cap stocks in the market.

Instead of spending thousands of dollars diversifying, you can spend a fraction of the cost on an ETF that offers ample exposure.
