Where it comes from
1856. Compare caps (“capitals”), 1856; small capitals, 1770.
noun
- Capital letters shown in the same form but in small size (typically of the same size as lower-case letters). Because small caps are smaller than full size caps—slightly larger than the x-height—they are less obtrusive and do not overwhelm the upper and lower case type as full size capitals would.

noun
- plural of small cap So, depending on the study you look at, small caps either outperform or they don't. But either way, we think they make a great addition to a well-diversified portfolio.
