Small-company stocks typically have higher volatility of returns compared to large-company stocks, U.S. Treasury bills, long-term corporate bonds, and long-term government bonds.

The S&P 500, which tracks large-company stocks, has had a historical annualized volatility of 15.6% from 1926-2011, while the Russell 2000 Index, which tracks small-company stocks, has had a historical annualized volatility of 32.5% over the same time period.
