The Russell Indexes are a comprehensive family of 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 $3.9 trillion in assets are benchmarked to them.
The success of the Russell Index family in the U.S. can be attributed to our innovative index design - including float- adjusted market capitalisation, reconstitution, multifactor style analysis, as well as objective and transparent rules. With the introduction of the Russell Global Index family in January of 2007, we extended this same pioneering index methodology around the world. The Russell Global Indexes are constructed to capture the true opportunity set of managers. Exclusively, Russell uses a global-relative methodology to create indexes with consistent break points for large cap and small cap - globally. Russell Indexes has also recently constructed a stand-alone Russell Frontier Index, in response to the growing need for a more robust index for the frontier asset class. We are now poised to offer a full spectrum of benchmark products to meet all your index needs, including Asia Pacific region related indexes for our clients in the Asia Pacific region.
In addition to the comprehensive Global and Frontier equity indexes, Russell Indexes has also recently launched a series of alternative weighted innovations effectively extending Russell's global line-up beyond market capitalization weighted index construction. Our new product offerings include Equal Weight Index, Factor Index, Fundamental Index® and Shariah Index series that reflect key global market segments.
