You are talking about a universe of thousands of stocks, and a fund manager only needs 20-30 minimum and up to 100 in a good-sized fund. A sweeping generality like this is meaningless - I could list dozens of stocks here with growth and earnings with one or two simple screens on popular Web sites. You just aren't looking. It might pay off for you to do more research in what those funds hold and why. Long time ago it may have been possible to buy small cap companies with growth and earnings. Nowadays most of them have neither growth nor earnings. Or maybe they still have growth, but no earnings. So I am not sure how small-cap fund managers select them as I would not be sure how to select them myself. I think we have beat this topic to death but I am always happy to discuss it more on my 50% Gains thread, where I have an ongoing portfolio of mostly small caps with documented five-year performance.
