Small Cap Value Fund Investor Sentiment

Far too much social signal, news, headlines, and media speculation about Small-cap Value that are available to investors today. That information is available publicly through Small-cap media outlets and privately through word of mouth or via Small-cap internal channels. However, regardless of the origin, that massive amount of Small-cap data is challenging to quantify into actionable patterns, especially for investors that are not very sophisticated with ever-evolving tools and techniques used in the investment management field.

A primary focus of Small-cap Value news analysis is to determine if its current price reflects all relevant headlines and social signals impacting the current market conditions. A news analyst typically looks at the history of Small-cap Value relative headlines and hype rather than examining external drivers such as technical or fundamental data. It is believed that price action tends to repeat itself due to investors' collective, patterned thinking related to Small-cap Value's headlines and news coverage data. This data is often completely overlooked or insufficiently analyzed for actionable insights to drive Small-cap Value alpha.
