Small-cap companies are those with a market capitalization of US$300 million to US$2 billion. Although these companies have strong growth potential and generally outperform large-cap stocks, investments in these stocks may also come with various risks. 

These companies are not necessarily start-ups or new companies. They could be long-existing companies. Besides, small-cap companies may grow to be mid-cap or large-cap. So, the small-cap criterion is based on the market cap. They may climb up the business ladder with strong marker acumen. However, the small-cap Russell 2000 Index fell 15.48% over the past year.
