Beware the Crosscurrents in Small Caps

Small cap equity (as measured by the Russell 2000® Index) had its best two quarters of performance on record in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. However, small caps have failed to break out in a sustained way since their February 2021 peak despite strong earnings results. Mixed signals from macroeconomic data and sentiment indicators appear to have investors on edge. Portfolio managers from Carillon’s diverse affiliates sort potential risks from areas of opportunity in the dynamic small cap space.
