Why Is The IPO Market Struggling? Here's What Active Managers Have To Say
Strong returns in U.S. stocks, particularly over the past two plus years, have led investors to question the relative lack of companies going public via the IPO process — as well as the potential implications for the IPO market in the long term. According to active equity managers, a combination of increased public market regulation, a reduced pipeline of potential offerings following the prior boom, the rising role of large private asset managers in capital raising, and near-term uncertainty surrounding government policy are all contributing factors. At Russell Investments, we think investors benefit from taking a long-term view.

DWAS: A Small-Cap Momentum Fund Lagging Peers
The Invesco Dorsey Wright SmallCap Momentum ETF has a strong growth profile but has underperformed other small-cap momentum funds like XSMO and USVM since 2021. DWAS focuses on U.S. small-cap companies with strong relative performance, heavily weighted towards industrials and technology sectors, and has a high turnover rate. Despite outperforming the Russell 2000 index over time, DWAS has higher volatility, lower liquidity, and higher expense ratios compared to peer funds.

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.

DWAS: Excessively Risky SMID Strategy With Bleak Returns
DWAS offers exposure to small- and mid-cap names with convincing momentum characteristics. Yet, its strategy of capitalizing on SMID stocks that were on a tear did not translate into meaningful and consistent outperformance in the past. Its historical risk-adjusted returns are much weaker than those of IVV and IJR, owing to its volatility, which, in turn, is likely influenced by soft quality.

3 Small-Cap Growth ETFs With Standout Long-Term Performance
Rate cuts are coming, it seems, with the U.S. economy slowing down precipitously in July. Market watchers are increasingly seeing a potential 50 basis point (bps) cut in September with potentially even more cuts after that.

DWAS: Soft Quality, Questionable Performance, And High Turnover
DWAS has an index-based strategy designed to benefit from strongly performing small-cap stocks that are anticipated to continue climbing higher. I have identified two reasons why the ETF is a suboptimal choice: the soft quality of its portfolio and its inconsistent past performance. A pronounced mid-cap tilt might be another issue for investors who are looking for pure-play small-cap portfolios.
