Category: Small Blend
Small-blend funds favor firms at the smaller end of the
market-capitalization range, and are flexible in the
types of small caps they buy. Some aim to own an
array of value and growth stocks while others employ a
discipline that leads to holdings with valuations and
growth rates close to the small-cap averages.
