Since the start of the year, the S & P MidCap 400 index and S & P SmallCap 600 index have added 8.2% and 0.2%, respectively. The large-cap S & P 500, meanwhile, has gained roughly 9.5%. Over the past year, the small and midcap benchmarks are up 15% and 24%, respectively, while the large-stock index has soared 31%.
