Cheap buysNow, the rally in small caps suggests that Wall Street is optimistic about the economy’s health. Some investors say cheap valuations and and hopes for a muted economic downturn means small caps look more attractive than they have in months.

But Chuck Royce, who has focused on investing in smaller companies for more than 50 years, did exactly that. "We were early in identifying this as a category for investing even before Russell showed up," he told Insider in a recent interview. Royce is the chairman of Royce Investment Partners, which manages $11.8 billion in assets — and 98% of that is invested in small caps. Big success with small capsDespite his deep roots in small-cap stocks, Royce didn't start out with a specific interest in smaller companies. Instead, after some early struggles, he found that buying high-quality smaller companies and putting together diversified portfolios was a good way to limit losses.
"A regime change, if you will, is taking place in the market, where small caps are going to do better," said Francis Gannon, co-chief investment officer at Royce Investment Partners, which focuses on small caps. Now investors are pointing to the recent rally as proof that small caps are on the verge of a prolonged period of outperformance. 'Massively outperform' Michael Sesser, equity portfolio manager of the $558-million DWS Small Cap Core fund, believes small caps will "massively outperform" large caps over the next five to 10 years. Cantaloupe , a retail service digital payments company with a $373 million market cap, and medical imaging provider RadNet ($1.2 billion market cap) are among Sesser's picks. DWS Small Cap also owns metallurgical coal producers serving the steel industry, namely Alpha Metallurgical Resources ($2.7 billion market cap), Arch Resources ($2.6 billion market cap) and Peabody Energy ($4.2 billion market cap).
