At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.20% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through April 1, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

For investors seeking momentum, iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF (SMIN - Free Report) is probably on radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 29.9% from its 52-week low price of $48.11/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea of where it might be headed:
SMIN in Focus
The underlying MSCI India Small Cap Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization weighted index designed to measure the performance of equity securities of small capitalization companies whose market capitalization represents the bottom 14% of companies in the Indian securities market. The product charges 74 bps in annual fees (See: all Asia-Pacific (Emerging) ETFs).
Why the Move?
Small-cap stocks are closely connected to the domestic economy because their capitalization is influenced by how well the domestic economy is doing. The IMF's upward revision of India's growth forecast to 6.1% in 2023 underscores the country's resilience and potential for economic expansion.
With a stable political environment and a government committed to economic reforms, India has attracted both domestic and foreign investors. The IMF's projection for 6.3% growth in 2024 indicates a continued positive trajectory for the Indian economy.
More Gains Ahead?
The fund might continue its strong performance given a positive weighted alpha of 3.60%.
