This Week’s Performance Leaders and Laggards
U.S. Mid Cap – Growth paced the channel this week with a 0.79% WTD gain, followed closely by U.S. Large Cap – Growth at 0.53%, extending growth’s stronger 6-month and YTD trends relative to value counterparts. On the opposite end, U.S. Large Cap – Value declined 0.98% WTD, the weakest showing in the channel, though it still carries a 15.14% YTD return. U.S. Small Cap – Value and U.S. Mid Cap – Value also posted modest weekly losses of -0.39% and -0.30%, respectively, signaling a tilt away from value names over the period.
