IJR: U.S. Small-Cap Barometer Has Risks And Disadvantages

The iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF has a strategy based on the S&P 600 index, the U.S. small-cap barometer. IJR has beaten the market proxy IVV since its inception in 2000, but this result was chiefly secured by its resilience to the dot-com bubble burst in the early 2000s. IJR's edge over IVV disappeared in the 2010s—its returns over 2015–2025 were much weaker than those of the S&P 500 ETF, with higher volatility.

SPY Vs. IJR: This Chart Shows It's Time To Buy Small Caps

Driven by high valuations and rising treasury rates after the U.S. credit downgrade, SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust's valuation risk is among the highest level since the dot-com bubble. Small-cap ETF such iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF offers a more attractive risk/return profile.

IJR Unlocks The Hidden Small-Cap Premium

IJR could offer a compelling mean reversion trade, capitalizing on the unusually wide small-cap premium and valuation gap versus large caps. This is because IJR tracks the S&P SmallCap 600, which better selects profitable small caps. And because the forward P/E of profitable small-cap companies is lower than that of unprofitable ones, signaling in my opinion, a technical inconsistency in favor of the S&P 600.
