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.

The Bitcoin boom hiding in Americans’ retirement savings

Americans can now allocate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies within their 401(k) retirement plans, unlocking access to a $9 trillion market. Even a modest 5% allocation of contributions could generate $30–40 billion in annual inflows, building to $343 billion by 2035. For perspective, that’s more than six times the $52 billion US spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted to date.

Ethereum’s summer surge is redefining the market

Ethereum is blazing a trail. With record active addresses, soaring ETF inflows, and growing corporate ETH purchases, the network keeps hitting milestone after milestone. As stablecoins surge under new US regulations, Ethereum’s position as the backbone of digital finance has never been stronger.

What is liquid staking, and why the SEC’s update matters for investors

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently ruled that certain liquid staking tokens are not securities. This is a major win for investors in the decentralized finance space, as historically, the SEC has often treated tokens as securities and claimed regulatory control over them.

Utdelningsavkastning för IncomeShares år 2025 (hittills)

Publicerad

Utdelningsavkastningen för IncomeShares ETP:er (börshandlade produkter) ändras varje månad, beroende på strategins resultat och marknadsförhållanden. Den här artikeln förklarar hur dessa avkastningar har förändrats hittills i år.

Vad är utdelningsavkastning?

IncomeShares ETP:er syftar till att tjäna månadsinkomster genom att sälja optioner på olika underliggande investeringar. När en ETP säljer en option betalar optionsköparen en ”premie” till ETP:n. Den premien är den inkomstkälla som ETP:n kan betala ut till investerare varje månad.

För att göra dessa utdelningar lättare att jämföra använder branschen ”årlig utdelningsavkastning”. Detta tar den senaste månatliga inkomstutbetalningen, multiplicerar den med 12 och dividerar den med ETP:ns nettotillgångsvärde (NAV) för den månaden.

Vi uttrycker resultatet som en procentandel med hjälp av formeln nedan:

Utdelningsavkastning (%) = (senaste månatliga utdelningsavkastning × 12) ÷ nuvarande NAV × 100

Eftersom formeln annualiserar endast en månads utbetalning kan utdelningsavkastningen variera kraftigt varje månad. Till exempel hade IncomeShares S&P 500 Options ETP en annualiserad utdelningsavkastning på 180,27 % i april 2025. Men i juli var den 39,86 %.

I det här exemplet berodde mycket av den avkastningsskillnaden på marknadsförhållandena. I april var SPY (ETP:ns underliggande investering) mer volatil än i juli. Högre volatilitet ökar vanligtvis efterfrågan på optioner, vilket höjer premierna – och därmed inkomstpotentialen för options-ETP:er.

Under de sju månaderna från januari till juli låg IncomeShares S&P 500 Options ETP i genomsnitt på 82,36 %.

Hur har IncomeShares utdelningsavkastning förändrats under 2025?

IncomeShares erbjuder för närvarande 19 ETP:er som syftar till att generera månatlig inkomst genom att sälja optioner på enskilda aktier, amerikanska aktiemarknadsindex, råvaror och amerikanska statsobligationer.

Av dessa 19 ETP:er har elva handlats under hela 2025. Tabellen nedan visar de årliga utdelningsavkastningarna som rapporterats varje månad i år (januari till juli) för dessa ursprungliga elva ETP:er:
