Core Insights - The recent outperformance of small-cap stocks is attributed to a significant influx of retail investor capital compared to institutional investors, indicating a rapid recovery in market risk appetite since September 2024, despite a lag in fundamental improvements [1][11] - The overall return of large-cap styles will depend on the emergence of a fundamental turning point and the return of institutional capital, with potential catalysts being the confirmation of an upward trend in the AI industry cycle or unexpected macro policy enhancements [1][11] Group 1: Misconceptions about Small-Cap Outperformance - Misconception 1: Macro liquidity easing is beneficial for small-cap stocks.
