CRSP Count™ Quarterly Update – September 2023

Notable items with this release include:

– Energy continues its lag in performance, there is not a single point in the past 1 Year where Energy’s cumulative monthly performance was not the worst performing sector
– Growth outperformed value across all cap segments except mid (where value’s out-performance was only 1 basis point), which is what we would expect following the Fed’s mid-September rate cut.

Notable items with this release include:

– Smaller companies out-performance in July was reversed in August, with Micro Cap experiencing a -1.45% return in August compared to last month’s return of 12.01%.
– Energy was the only sector with negative returns in August, it’s lag in performance compared to the other sectors over the past 12 months created a fair sized gap in 1 year cumulative returns.
– Value continued to outperform the growth counterparts within each cap segment.
