About Russell Global Indexes


A world of possibilities


Russell Global Indexes provide institutional investors insight into complex global markets. Representing 98% of the investable universe, our global indexes reflect the performance of over 10,000 securities in 47 countries.

The Russell global-relative perspective


Russell research has shown that companies of similar capitalization tend to perform alike, regardless of location. That's why Russell Global Indexes use a single market cap break across the globe to determine whether a company is considered large cap or small cap. Distinctively, this global-relative view creates one large, diverse, investable universe of global securities.

Since today's investors are looking for the best-positioned companies worldwide, our global Indexes better represent how managers actually invest.

Benefits and advantages


Deep market coverage.
Russell Global Indexes are built from a company-level perspective. Companies are added as they gain adequate size and liquidity, rather than being excluded because of location.

Rules-based, transparent methodology lets the market determine index membership, rather than sampling found in other indexes.

Modular and robust.
Russell Global Index series is a fully modular global index and supports a broad spectrum of sub-indexes based on country, region, sector, size or other customized needs.

Accurate and relevant.
Russell's global-relative approach and float-adjusted market capitalization weights allow for a better representation of the global investable landscape.

Truer to style.
Russell Global Style Indexes employ a multivariable approach to determine whether a company is considered part of the the growth, value, defensive and dynamic investment universes.

Rigorously maintained.
Updates such as daily corporate actions, monthly share adjustments, quarterly IPO inclusions and annual total reconstitution ensure the indexes represent the true global opportunity set.
