For the year through August-end, the large-cap index amassed a four-percentage-point lead over the small-cap index (20.7% vs 15.8%, respectively). Large vs small-cap leadership has fluctuated mainly with shifts in global recovery expectations and long-dated US Treasury yields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>YTD 2021 returns \u2012 Russell 1000 relative to Russell 2000 (TR, rebased)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"357\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-1.png\" alt=\"YTD 2021 returns \u2012 Russell 1000 relative to Russell 2000 (TR, rebased)\" class=\"wp-image-105243 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-1.png 840w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-1-700x298.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-1-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-1-768x326.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 840px; aspect-ratio: 840\/357;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: FTSE Russell.

Large-cap growth-oriented stocks, notably technology, underperformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as macro growth worries rose, the list of risk-on beneficiaries narrowed: Financials have tended to outperform during periods of rising long bond yields, given the positive implications for industry profitability. However, earlier rallies in energy and basic materials stocks have lost momentum with the recent retreat in commodity prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>YTD 2021 returns \u2012 R1000 and R2000 ICB Financials vs Technology (rebased)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"789\" height=\"343\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-2.png\" alt=\"YTD 2021 returns \u2012 R1000 and R2000 ICB Financials vs Technology (rebased)\" class=\"wp-image-105244 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-2.png 789w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-2-700x304.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-2-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-2-768x334.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 789px; aspect-ratio: 789\/343;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: FTSE Russell.

As the industry returns below show, financials in both indexes led gains for the month, as the uptick in long bond yields and modest steepening of the yield curve early in the month lifted the profit prospects for banks and insurers. Unlike in the Q1 risk rally, energy and basic materials stocks hugged the bottom of the performance list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tech stocks performed nearly as strongly as financials, but most of those gains came in the last two weeks of the month as waning recovery optimism weighed on long bond yields again and stirred greater appreciation for companies offering reliable earnings growth and healthy balance sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>August 2021 \u2013 Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) total returns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"371\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-4.png\" alt=\"August 2021 \u2013 Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) total returns\" class=\"wp-image-105246 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-4.png 830w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-4-700x313.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-4-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/image-4-768x343.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 830px; aspect-ratio: 830\/371;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: FTSE Russell.
