That sparked a mini-collapse among big-cap tech stocks like Microsoft, Google, and Nvidia, which tumbled 20% at its low.

Tech IPOs Poised For Return To Pre-Pandemic Normalcy In 2025
The new year is poised for a resurgence in tech IPOs, as lower interest rates and an investor shift to small- and mid-cap companies combine to create a more welcoming market for debuts. The current environment presents the most favorable conditions for the recovery of IPOs in the past three years. The S&P 400 Midcap Index and the S&P 600 Index have outperformed the S&P 500 Index since the US election Nov. 5.

DFAS: A Good Small-Cap Option
Small caps have underperformed large caps, but I believe they will outperform over time, making the Dimensional U.S. Small Cap ETF a strong consideration. The DFAS ETF is highly diversified, with no position over 0.45%, and focuses on sectors like Financials and Industrials, offering a value tilt. DFAS has a 0.26% expense ratio and uses Dimensional's factor-based approach, potentially outperforming passive small-cap ETFs despite higher volatility.
