OUSM ETF

For many years, smaller stocks and value stocks were very effective together. While they haven't performed poorly, recently, large growth stocks have taken the lead in the market, causing small-cap and value stocks to lose popularity.

As small-cap stocks are expected to gain momentum in 2025 due to potential interest rate cuts, it might be a good idea to consider investing in a small-cap ETF. One option to keep an eye on is the ALPS O'Shares US Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF (OUSM).

After presidential elections, it's common to see a lot of discussion about which asset classes and sectors will do well or poorly with the new Trump administration. Small-cap stocks and their related ETFs are frequently highlighted as likely to gain from the "Trump trade."

With several rate cuts already implemented this Fall and possibly more to come, investors might be interested in ETFs that can adapt. Small-cap stocks are particularly noteworthy because they are more affected by rising debt costs compared to larger companies.

If you want to gain a wide understanding of the Small Cap Blend area in the US stock market, you might want to look at the ALPS O'Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend ETF (OUSM). This is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that started on December 30, 2016.

Thanks to the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut in September, small-cap stocks and their related ETFs have gained stability. Investors are now paying more attention to them.

Investor interest in small caps is spiking following last month's rate cuts. The possibility of further cuts, too, compounds that growing appeal for smaller firms.

What sets small-caps strategies apart from one another? While the impact of rate cuts may not yet be fully understood, small-caps could be poised to disproportionately benefit.
