We didn’t buy these shares on sale this time; these shares were bought due to forgetting that this ETF was splitting on the same day as our regular Monday buy order. Lesson learned; pay attention to splits. Note: IMCG was previously listed as ticker symbol JKH. Read why we invest in IMCG right here: 4 Best Long-Term Performance U.S. Mid Cap Growth ETFs 1.3

Are you missing out on mid-caps? Six reasons not to!

Mid-cap stocks are the middle child of the stock market. Stuck in that awkward adolescence phase, they’re not as cool as big brother (the S&P 500) but also not as cute as little sister (small-caps).

But do they also deserve to be ignored? (j/k, love you, little brother!) Research by S&P Dow Jones Indices found that from 2003 to 2018 the number of mid-cap mutual funds decreased while the number of large and small-cap funds increased. Yet mid-cap stocks had the best performance over that very time frame!

Mid-cap stocks are shares of companies with market capitalizations between $2-$10 billion, though definitions vary. These companies are large enough to be familiar but small enough for continued growth. From 1972 to 2020, mid-cap stocks beat large- and small-cap stocks by 1.45% and 0.30%, respectively. Mid-caps make up only 10% of the total US stock market. Therefore, to capture their superior returns you must tilt your portfolio.

Investors have historically gone the opposite direction by over-weighting small- and large-cap stocks while avoiding mid-caps. Failing to capitalize on the mid-cap segment of the stock market means you’re likely leaving returns on the table for me to scoop up! 😉
