When threats are lurking, with size comes safety. Just look at birds: the larger the flock, the less prone they are to predators. The same applies to investing - when markets are a bit bumpy, the small end of town tends to be much more volatile than its counterparts in the large. 

As we approach the end of the financial year, it has been a wild ride for equities. The ASX100 has been somewhat stable though, considering the uncertain macroeconomic environment, down only 2.35% year-to-date. This is very favourable versus the ASX200 (-7.51%) and S&P500 (-14.19%). So if you are looking for protection as well as opportunity, maybe the largest of the large is the place to be.
