Equity ETFs by Market Cap
Market capitalization, or "market cap", is a key metric in equity investing that represents a company's total market value. ETFs use market cap categories to create focused investment products, allowing investors to target specific market segments based on their risk tolerance, investment goals, and market outlook. This categorization is important because companies of different sizes typically exhibit distinct characteristics in growth potential, risk profile, and market behavior.
Large-Cap
ETFs focusing on large-capitalization companies, typically with market values exceeding $10 billion. These funds offer exposure to well-established, often blue-chip firms known for stability and consistent dividends.
