U.S. Incorporated Companies and U.S. Benefit-Driven Incorporated Companies
U.S. incorporated companies are eligible for inclusion in the Russell U.S. indexes. Beginning during reconstitution 2007, companies incorporated in the following countries/regions are also being reviewed for eligibility: Anguilla, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Channel Islands, Cook Islands, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Netherlands Antilles, Panama (added at reconstitution 2007), and Turks and Caicos Islands. Companies incorporated in these regions are considered Benefit-Driven Incorporation (BDI) companies, because they typically incorporate in BDI regions for operations, tax, political or other financial market benefits.
