Unfortunately, these spirits have been in deep hibernation for many years. However, 2024 saw the early stages of a small-cap revival. The S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index delivered a total return of 8.36% in 2024, slightly lower than the S&P/ASX 200 index, which returned 11.44% for the year.According to Eley Griffiths Group's Nick Guidera, two contributing factors are a more stable macroeconomic environment and investor caution about highly concentrated markets.Guidera believes the market has been crowding into defensive growth names due to concerns about a murky macro backdrop and geopolitical uncertainty.\"I think in the last 18 months to 24 months ... there was a lot of concentration in defensive growth names. The market was concerned about the macro backdrop and what was happening geopolitically. And people weren't willing to look at broadening their portfolio into a whole bunch of new ideas.\".

Australian banks facing into a tougher environment continued to outperform, as did the financial sector on the whole, with insurers taking advantage of higher premiums.
