Revenue analysis underlines need for small cap diversification

Fears at the prospect of a global trade war has caused huge volatility in equity markets in 2018; yet for those looking to maintain long-term allocations to equities, there are segments of the equity market that tend to be less affected by the current issues. Small cap stocks in particular, many of which tend to be less global and more domestically-focused, generally export less than their large cap peers on a regional basis, which can provide some protection for future revenue streams. Revenue analysis underlines need for small cap diversification

Local revenue vs global revenue for small cap companies on a regional basis

Analysis shows that European small caps generate almost twice the weighted average revenue from within Europe as companies within the large cap focused MSCI Europe Index. This suggests that if investors have a desire to allocate to Europe but wish to invest in non-exporters, one approach is to focus on small cap equities. It’s also important to make the connection to currency performance, as export-oriented firms tend to benefit when their home currency weakens, and their goods and services become less expensive in their targeted markets abroad. Over the last 12 months1, the euro appreciated 16.2% against the U.S. dollar and the British pound appreciated 13.9% against the U.S. dollar.

Looking at other regions there are distinct differences. In Japan, small caps derive more than 80% of their weighted average revenue inside Japan. Emerging markets meanwhile exhibit the smallest difference when comparing the weighted average revenue distribution of smaller companies to larger companies.

U.S. small caps were in focus after President Trump’s 2016 election victory, as it was assumed that a Republican victory would result in corporate tax reform. U.S. small caps do derive a higher proportion of revenues from inside the U.S. than larger caps and therefore have greater potential for earnings growth now that corporate tax rates have been lowered.

For investors considering portfolio exposure and asset allocation to small cap equities, it is crucial to understand geographical revenue differences when considering which strategy may be most appropriate. Furthermore, deeper analysis shows that regional small caps indices also deliver distinctly different performance.

Small cap performance on a regional basis

The chart above shows that small cap stocks have underperformed in the U.S. over several time horizons but outperformed in Europe, Japan and the emerging markets. The U.S. comparison clearly exhibits a distinct difference to the other global regions shown, in that small caps underperformed large caps over each period.

On a one-year basis, the comparison was particularly challenging. A key contributor to this is that many global currencies have strengthened significantly against the U.S. dollar over the past year. This has created a tailwind for U.S. large cap multinational exporters, but since small cap companies don’t export to the the same extent, it has not impacted them to an equivalent degree.

Additionally, the strong performance of large cap U.S. equities exhibiting sensitivity to momentum as a factor, leading the industry and media to create acronyms like F-A-N–G (Facebook-Amazon-Netflix-Google) has also contributed to the large cap performance advantage.
Allocation to small cap equities can provide much-needed diversification for investors; but when considering portfolio exposure and asset allocation, it is important investors understand and consider geographical differences between performance and revenue streams.

Mid-year reality check: webinar and new State of crypto report

Publicerad

We’re halfway through 2026 – and it’s time to take stock.

In December, we published ten predictions for the crypto market this year. Six months in, we’re revisiting each of them in our State of crypto 2026: mid-year update – a clear-eyed look at where each thesis still stands, what’s landed ahead of schedule, and what still has time to play out. Join us for a live discussion on Wednesday 1 July at 4:00 PM CET, which will also provide an update on the broader market environment.

New report available now

Our overarching prediction was that 2026 would be the year crypto made the shift from narrative to fundamentals. The picture is more nuanced than we anticipated.

Two predictions are landing ahead of schedule: Prediction markets have recorded $57.5 billion in traded volume through May – more than half our $100 billion full-year target, and over ten times the same period last year. With the World Cup underway and US midterms in November, the second half has plenty of fuel.

• Our call that most Layer 2s would not survive 2026 has landed – and was endorsed in February by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who declared the rollup-centric roadmap ”no longer makes sense.”

The rest – tokenized commodities, pre-IPO markets, stablecoin adoption – are delayed, not derailed. There’s a lot to unpack. Download the full report for our complete analysis.

On Wednesday 1 July at 4:00 PM CET, join our Head of Macro Stephen Coltman, Chief Investment Strategist Adrian Fritz, and Global Head of Research Eliézer Ndinga for a live discussion of the report – covering their key takeaways, current market conditions, and our outlook for the second half of 2026.
