Interest rate cuts historically benefit equities, resulting in outperformance for the next year after the initial rate cut. Pockets of more pronounced opportunity may exist within stocks for investors in a declining rate environment.
As the Federal Reserve turned its eye from inflation to protecting the labor market at August's Jackson Hole meeting, markets rose in hopes of rate cuts beginning at the end of the third quarter. A falling rate environment may prove particularly supportive for small-cap stocks.
FESM recently reorganized into an ETF with a 0.28% expense ratio, but this enhanced small-cap fund has an extensive track record dating back to December 2007. This analysis reveals returns that were better than Russell 2000 Index ETFs like IWM but worse than S&P SmallCap 600 Index ETFs like SPSM. The strategy supposedly improves the quality of the Russell 2000 Index, but I found the improvements negligible. However, its value and growth features are impressive, albeit could be temporary.
