Hello! For this week's ETF Wrap, I spoke to Michael Arone, chief investment strategist for the U.S. SPDR business at State Street Global Advisors, for his view of markets and where ETF investors may look for opportunities at this stage of the Federal Reserve's interest rate-hiking cycle.

Heightened rate volatility points to these opportunities in stocks, bonds for ETF investors, says State Street's Michael Arone

SPSM is an SPDR ETF that invests in the S&P 600 Small Cap Index with an expense ratio of 0.03%. Small caps may outperform large caps over the next decade due to attractive valuations, higher growth potential, and favorable economic trends. SPSM has advantages over other passive small-cap strategies and has historically outperformed the Russell 2000 by about 1.7% per year.

SPSM: A Good Way To Get Low-Cost Small Cap Exposure

I am increasing my equity exposure despite an imperfect setup due to the low valuation of the S&P 600 and S&P 400 indexes. Equal-weighted indexes historically outperform market cap weighted indexes, and I believe the current dominance of large-cap stocks is unusual. I recommend using S&P 600 and S&P 400 tracking ETFs for small and mid-cap exposure, respectively.

Larger REITs have outperformed small- and mid-sized REITs in the last five years, thanks partially to their concentration in high-growth sectors. Modestly leveraged REITs can still grow their bottom-line profits even with rapidly rising interest expenses because revenue is growing as well. I highlight five high-quality, larger market cap REITs that are currently trading at reasonable (or better-than-reasonable) valuations. I'm buying for the long haul.
