Jonathan Boyar's latest makes me ponder whether 2024 is the year of small caps. From a UK perspective it is tantalising; the FTSE 100 has just passed its 40th and much comment has been made about its relative underperformance and reasons for. So why not allocate capital lower down the scale and abroad? CME Group analysis notes (https://lnkd.in/eedeEeBk) on a long term basis that there are periods of uncertainty when small caps outperform, eg, "1990-1994: during the 1990-91 recession and its immediate aftermath, small caps again outperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 50%." and "1999-2014: in a new era of turbulence (tech wreck, 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq wars, subprime bubble, economic meltdown and quantitative easing) small caps swiftly outperformed large caps once again, with the Russell 2000 drubbing the S&P 500 by 114%." Currently there are echoes of 'turbulence', eg, Mid East war, CEE war, Taiwan election flashpoint, cargo ships re-routing, possible return of Trump, UK mortgage holders facing a £19bn hike in costs...and the Fed's Beige Book summary (29 Nov 2023) states: "On balance, economic activity slowed since the previous report...The economic outlook for the next six to twelve months diminished over the reporting period." The next summary is expected 17 January.

Sports ownership is becoming democratized and diverse. And it should be. Just yesterday, the Atlanta Falcons announced that four new limited partners joined the team’s ownership group: • Rashaun L. Williams • Rosalind Brewer • Dominique Dawes • Will Packer Also, Chicago Sky WNBA Forward Angel Reece became a part owner of DC Power Football Club.

🌟 Sportsmanship Lead with Compassion: A Ripple Effect of Kindness 🌟 In the midst of a fierce match between the New York Red Bulls and Inter Miami, there was a moment that transcended the boundaries of competition—a moment that showcased the power of one individual to inspire collective action. As rain poured down relentlessly, one player from the New York Red Bulls noticed the discomfort of the children accompanying them. Without hesitation, he removed his own jacket and shielded the youngsters from the elements. His act of compassion sparked something profound. What followed was nothing short of remarkable. One by one, his teammates followed suit, offering their jackets to protect the children from the rain. It was a beautiful display of solidarity and empathy, driven by the simple gesture of one player. This moment serves as a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have. By leading with kindness and compassion, we have the ability to inspire others to do the same. In a world often defined by division, the actions of this player and his teammates exemplify the beauty of coming together for the greater good. Let us take inspiration from their example and strive to be the catalysts for positive change in our own communities. Because when we lead with compassion, we not only uplift those around us but also create a ripple effect of kindness that can touch hearts and transform lives. #BeTheLight ✨
