FOR 75 YEARS, no investment has consistently produced higher long-term returns than stocks of small companies. They haven't done this without risk, though -- for every small stock that climbes 200 percent, there are a good number that go nowhere, and the group as a whole is subject to wide price swings. How do you reap the benefits without running the risk?

The best money managers know how. And in this book, they share their knowledge with you.

If you do your homework, invest for the long term, and diversify, small-cap stocks will boost your returns and stabilize them by complementing the performance of other investments, such as large-cap stocks and bonds. Anyone with more than 10 years to retirement should consider small caps. Anyone with 15 or more should make them a significant part of their portfolios.

Here's some hands-on advice from the experts on researching small companies, finding the ones most likely to succeed, incorporating them in your portfolio, and caring for your investments.

Inside you'll find recommendations on:

  • PICKING THE WINNERS  how to find them before Wall Street does
  • LOOKING FOR CATALYSTS  how the best value investors find cheap stocks that are posed for gain
  • PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION  how to incorporate small caps to boost returns while reducing risk
  • SAFETY VALVES  how to manage the volatility of small companies
  • MAINTENANCE  when to hold and when to "trade up"
