Small-cap blend equities ETFs are exchange-traded funds that invest in a diversified portfolio of small capitalization (market value of the company is relatively small, typically between $300 million and $2 billion) companies that exhibit a mix of growth and value characteristics. These ETFs provide exposure to a broad range of small-cap companies and can be used to gain diversified exposure to the small-cap segment of the stock market.
