The Russell Indexes are a comprehensive family of U.S. and global equity
indexes which allow investors to seamlessly track performance of distinct market
segments worldwide. Created in 1984, the Russell Indexes are the most widely
used benchmarks by U.S. institutional investors. Today $4.3 trillion in assets
are benchmarked to them. We apply the transparent and objective index
methodology we invented originally for the U.S. indexes to the world's equity
markets in order to create the Russell global index family. Our pioneering
approach to global definitions of cap-size and our fully modular index design
for no gaps or overlaps in coverage lead to indexes that are more reflective of
the market and therefore make more accurate benchmarks and investment vehicles.
Whatever index you require there is a Russell Index that meets your needs.
