With these in place, investors could enter the market at attractive valuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSmall caps have historically benefited more than large caps from the first rate cut of a cycle,\u201d said Chisholm. \u201cAnd their advantage has been even greater when earnings also improved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With fourth quarter earnings season all but over, Lipper data showed net earnings for the Russell 2000 companies were down 17.6% year-over-year. By contrast, S&amp;P 500 earnings were up 4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the small cap index\u2019s numbers were undermined by 30% of its companies that were unprofitable, while the S&amp;P 500 was flattered by the huge mega-cap profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the momentum of gains seen for the likes of Nvidia during the first 10 weeks of 2024 appears to be slowing. Could the second half of 2024 see a resurgent small cap sector?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chisholm at Fidelity believes so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said that small cap stocks had been priced in anticipation of a recession and have plenty of room for recovery now that a soft landing for the U.S. economy appears to be the most likely scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn my opinion, your risk-reward trade-off is very skewed in favor of small caps,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>March 27, 2024 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/equities\/24\/03\/37956811\/russell-2000-vs-s-p-500-turning-tide-for-small-caps-risk-reward-trade-off-is-very-skewed\">Russell 2000 Vs.
