Small-Cap Blend ETF exchange-traded funds (ETF) are those ETFs which invest in the stocks of the companies which are in lower range as per their market capitalization. Small cap companies are the ones which typically lie in the range of $300 million to $2 billion. (See the List of Small-Cap ETFs.) Add to it the 'blend' style of investing which is a strategy for selecting securities for investments among the low market cap-valued stocks. While the following list contains only those blend ETFs which focus on the small-cap stocks and similar investments, there are other Blend ETFs (see list) which focus on other ranges of market capitalization. Investors can find a large variety of small-cap blend ETFs which invest based on different sectors - like energy, infrastructure, consumer staples and more - or thse which invest based on stocks of particular region - like India, China, Europe or Latin America - or those which offer investments based on leverage or inverse style of investments.
