The smallest company in each index has been removed from the public website to avoid any confusion. The smallest company could distort the actual distribution in the corresponding index due to corporate action methodology. Refer to the posted market cap ranges to view the actual breakpoints from the previous reconstitution or use the $wtd average market capitalization for a true measure of the capitalization distribution.
