NEW YORK, January 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The small-cap market is often overlooked. Yet under certain conditions small caps can be a good place to look if certain measures are taken. These are high-risk high-reward companies, therefore extensive due diligence is required. A small cap company with potential will have a record of consistent public filings and strong management. Often, the current political environment may also have an effect on small cap companies. For example, certain policies of a new presidential administration, like increasing tariffs or starting a trade war, will be beneficial for small companies, explained Hank Smith, chief investment officer at Haverford Trust. Such policies, "would favor small stocks, which are domestically orientated, at the expense of the multinationals that make up the S&P 500." He told MarketWatch. Cell MedX Corp. (OTCQB: CMXC), Pura Naturals Inc. (OTCQB: PNAT), Federal National Mortgage Association (OTCQB: FNMA), Paladin Energy Ltd (OTC: PALAF), PharmaCyte Inc. (OTCQB: PMCB)

The new presidential administration also promised to significantly reduce business regulations, which also may be beneficial for small companies, as they are less equipped to deal with regulations and the expenses that ensue. Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Robert W. Baird & Co. said, "Small-caps have been punished by overregulation because it is harder for them to absorb the impact of the regulation... Large companies are better equipped to deal with increased client costs, legal expenses."
