Construction and methodology
Setting the standard in index excellence

Russell Indexes are the leading institutional benchmarks built on four underlying principles:

 
  • They are objective, comprehensive, and built according to transparent rules.

  • Member stocks are not selected by a committee.

  • We allow the market to decide what stocks are included, based on capitalization, so our indexes remain relevant no matter how market activity changes.

  • We remain an unbiased and accurate representation of the market. And we are committed to staying that way.

To learn more about our rigorous methodology, visit an expanded one page explanation for the
Russell U.S. Indexes, Russell Global Indexes or Russell/Nomura Equity Indexes.
