Markets have been on an upward swing this year, making new highs on a regular basis. Contrary to what you may think, however, it’s not the largest stocks that are driving returns.
While the so-called FAANG stocks (Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google) have been performing well, it is actually the mid-cap stocks in quintiles two and three that have been leading the way.
All of this goes to show that market breadth is currently greater than many investors may realize.
