iShares Russell Microcap Index (ETF) (IWC)

CAPS Rating:
***

Closed-End Fund

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

IWC invests in the 1400 most academically risky stocks around - microcaps. The 3-Factor model of the University of Chicago's Eugene Fama and Dartmouth's Ken French says that over the long term microcaps should outperform large caps as compensation for risk.

Smaller companies are riskier, thereof investors discount their cash-flows to reflect that risk.
