In a recent contribution to WealthManagement.com’s 2026 Midyear Outlook, Heartland Advisors' CEO and Portfolio Manager, Will Nasgovitz, discusses why he believes the equity market is in the early stages of broadening beyond a narrow group of mega-cap companies, and what that could mean for small-cap value investors in the second half of the year.
In his article, "What If the Next Market Leaders Are Not the Names Everyone Owns?", Will highlights Heartland's 10 Principles of Value Investing™ and scenario-based approach to price targets as tools for identifying financially sound, attractively priced companies regardless of which part of the market is leading.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance represents past performance; current returns may be lower or higher. Performance for institutional class shares prior to their initial offering is based on the performance of investor class shares. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. All returns reflect reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor would pay on distributions or redemptions. Subject to certain exceptions, shares of a Fund redeemed or exchanged within 10 days of purchase are subject to a 2% redemption fee. Performance does not reflect this fee, which if deducted would reduce an individual's return. To obtain performance through the most recent month end, call 800-432-7856 or visit heartlandadvisors.com.
