The Russell Indexes
are a comprehensive family of global equity indexes, including
the industry-leading Russell U.S. indexes, which allow investors
to seamlessly track performance of distinct market segments
worldwide without gaps or overlaps. Created in 1984, the Russell
Indexes have become the most widely used benchmarks by U.S.
institutional investors and today over $4.4 trillion in assets
are benchmarked to them. In early 2007, Russell applied the
same pioneering index methodology to the world's equity markets
to create the Russell Global Index and hundreds of subcomponent
global indexes that capture 98% of the investable global equity
market. |
