SPDR S&P SmallCap 600 ESG ETF

ESIX tracks a market-cap-weighted index of US small-cap companies screened for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.

Small-cap stocks and the related exchange traded funds topped their large-cap counterparts in 2022, stoking speculation that more of the same could be in the offing in 2023. Should that prognostication prove accurate, ETFs such as the SPDR S&P SmallCap 600 ESG ETF (ESIX), among others, could benefit.

Small-cap stocks usually aren't inexpensive. Throw in an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) overlay, and that price of admission can increase.

Price of Admission Attractive With ESIX

Small-cap stocks and exchange traded funds followed large-cap counterparts lower this year, but there are plenty of examples of small-cap ETFs outpacing large-cap rivals. As such, there's been ample chatter about smaller stocks being better positioned for success in 2023.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing is under increasing scrutiny this year as regulators clamp down on greenwashing and as some politicians target the investing style, asserting that the asset managers behind it are politically motivated. Even with those controversies, a majority of financial professionals back this methodology and see long-term relevance.

Financial Pros Still Back ESG

This is the time of year when investors start getting optimistic about how stocks will close the year while focusing on expectations for better equity market performance in the following year. There's evidence that good times could be emerging, as highlighted by a 5.33% gain by the S&P 500 over the past month.

Evaluate ESIX for Small-Cap Rebound Idea

One of the prominent themes in 2022 has been the strength of the U.S. dollar, which has been a drag on large-cap companies that generate significant portions of their sales outside the U.S. That scenario is weighing on small stocks, too, and unfairly at that.

ESIX May Be Right Elixir for Strong Dollar Jitters

Small-cap stocks and exchange traded funds might not be the first assets on investors' minds these days owing to a poor start to 2022, but in recent weeks, smaller stocks are showing some grit.

This Small-Cap SSGA ETF ‘ESIX' Could Be Ready to Shine

With equities volatile amid growing macroeconomic concerns and with many market participants looking to eschew risk, it's not surprising small-cap stocks and the related exchange traded funds are incurring some punishment. That doesn't mean investors should outright ignore the asset class.

This Could Be an Ideal ESG Fund for Back Half of 2022

With large-cap equities sagging, it's understandably difficult for investors to get enthusiastic about small-cap stocks and the relevant exchange traded funds. However, the combination of small stocks and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) virtues could provide benefits to investors, even in this tricky market setting.

Small-Cap/ESG Combination Offers Benefits

Like their large-cap counterparts, small-cap stocks and exchange traded funds suffered in the first half of 2022, but some market observers believe smaller stocks are in for better things in the back half of the year.
