SSO gives you exposure to Australia's small-cap companies, those outside the ASX 200. Small-cap companies are generally higher-growth businesses earlier in their development, with more concentration in resources and industrials. Historically, small-caps have delivered higher long-term returns than large-caps in many markets, though with higher volatility and lower liquidity. At 0.50% it's more expensive than broad-market ETFs. The fund is relatively small at $200M, meaning bid-ask spreads can be wider during volatile conditions.
Based on publicly available fund data. Not a recommendation to buy or sell.
