Russell Indexes leadership


Today, Russell provides the leading U.S. equity index family for institutional investors with over $4.3 trillion in investment assets benchmarked against them. Russell's global indexes offer an objective and transparent way to accurately measure distinct segments of the global market. Approximately 10,000 companies or 98% of companies globally find their place in this benchmark.



In 1984, the team from Russell, headed by Kelly Haughton, used its insights about investment management behavior to launch the Russell Indexes. These new tools were designed according to intuitive rules and were intended to produce indexes that objectively track performance while better reflecting investment manager behavior. In 2006, Russell applied that same methodology to the world and introduced Russell Global Indexes.
