Francis Gannon looks at opportunities in small caps, arguing they’ve been in a recession the last few years but will begin outperforming in the second half of 2025. “You have to think about more than the Russell 2000,” he adds, comparing it to the Russell 3000. He also discusses investing in small caps internationally. He also emphasizes finding small caps that don’t need exposure to capital markets to grow. Francis likes industrials and financials especially.
