I'm just browsing some historical data here, but it appears that the S&P 600 has outperformed the S&P 500. Granted it has only been around since the early 90s, but even looking at small cap vs large cap (which there is nearly a century of data) there seems to be a 4% benefit in buying and holding small cap stocks.
Any thoughts on why this might be? The only expert I've seen interviewed on the subject said "The driving force behind small cap stocks is very different than large cap". It would have been great if he would have explained that driving force.
