Typical Small cap index fund description

ranson.com

The S&P SmallCap 600 Index Trust was created to provide investors, like yourself, a convenient and cost-efficient
way to invest in a broad, diversified group of smaller capitalized companies. The trust’s objective over the six year life
is to mirror as closely as possible the performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index® by investing primarily in the same
companies as represented in the index. The trust will realign the stocks as needed to replicate any changes made
within the index.

Why invest in the small cap sector?

Even though stocks in general have shown a greater return than bonds over time, the stocks of smaller, innovative
companies have shown the highest returns for investors willing to accept the risk of investing solely in the small
company sector of the market. Over the last 20 years small cap stocks have returned 19.5% annually, which could
have allowed your money to double every four years. Although past performance is no guarantee of future results,
small company stocks have been the top performers over the most recent 20 year period, staying far ahead of large
company stocks, bonds and inflation. When comparing investments in small and large company stocks and bonds, an
investor must consider specific product risk and volatility.
