Small caps and emerging markets in the long run should outpace advanced high cap markets as they have more room to grow.

There's also some other interesting aspects of emerging markets specifically: they never went more than 4.5 years before recovering from a crash to ath, whereas it took the SP500 12 years and EU 600 index 14 to recover from the 2000 one.
