Russell 2000 Index [TR]


Index Methodology

The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 2000 is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set.

Indices are unmanaged portfolios of securities and their performance, as a group, is typically used to measure investment results. Indices do not include expenses, fees and sales charges that an investor would incur with typical investment vehicles such as an open-end mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Therefore, index returns would have a higher return than what an investor would actually experience. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
