Download Q&A
In this short Q&A, Invesco portfolio managers, Ronald Zibelli and Justin Livengood, discuss:
- The potential strength of mid-caps in a DC investment menu
- What to look for in manager selection
- How Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund’s focus on investing in premier growth companies has helped tap into the segment’s potential
Mid-cap equities can offer attractive risk-reward characteristics, particularly within growth-style securities, but many investors remain underexposed to the asset class – mid-cap securities represent roughly 25% of US equity markets but only 11% of US equity investor assets.1 This trend has resulted in the average participant allocation of only 8.7% across the small- and mid-cap classes combined.2
