Small stocks are known for their higher volatility and fluctuations compared to larger stocks, corporate bonds, and treasury bills. Over the past eighty years, small stocks have had the largest fluctuations in overall return. The S&P 500, on the other hand, includes larger companies, and while it has experienced significant fluctuations, it has historically been less volatile than small stocks. Corporate bonds and treasury bills are generally considered lower-risk investments and have historically had lower fluctuations in overall return.
