Valuations versus large-caps are getting somewhat dear.

But overvaluation is not quite yet at the sort of extremes that have led to underperformance over the last few decades.

The near-term outlook for the UK economy and for sterling remain supportive of smaller-caps for now.

As such, we reckon that the small- and mid-cap boom can keep going for now.
