Small Cap securities in the US have significantly different performance from the broader US market and therefore exhibit different risk and return characteristics.

The Barra US Small Cap Equity Model is designed for managers who invest in the small capitalization companies in the US. The model leverages MSCI’s experience in building single-country, multi-factor equity models and indexes. It incorporates the latest Barra research and innovations, including Systematic Equity Strategies (SES), Volatility Regime Adjustment and Optimization Bias.
