FDM: Be Cautious About This High-Risk, Low-Reward Micro-Cap Play

  • FDM might lure investors with its 5.8% earnings yield, something that is quite complicated to find in today's high-priced market fluctuating around record highs. However, the reality of micro-cap investing is that large value exposure, sadly, translates into high-risk and low reward. This is the main consequence of the universe having inadequate quality. While FDM does address the quality issue in a diligent manner, which secured outperformance over its peer IWC since its inception, it has significantly underperformed IVV and IJR.
