“The growing popularity of Russell Indexes has generated strong demand for easily accessible, up-to-the-minute returns data and factors driving that day's activity,” said Kelly Haughton, strategic director for Russell Indexes. “We believe this powerful tool on russell.com will become a frequently-used bookmark for in-depth, real-time analysis on key U.S. market sectors.”

Currently, the tool features seven leading U.S. benchmarks: The broad-market Russell 3000® Index, large-cap Russell 1000® Index, Russell 1000® Growth Index, Russell 1000® Value Index, small-cap Russell 2000® Index, Russell 2000® Growth Index and Russell 2000® Value Index.

Haughton noted that the Russell 1000 Growth Index is the world’s leading style index, based on institutional assets benchmarked to it. Russell’s two U.S. large-cap style indexes combined account for more than $1 trillion in benchmarked assets.

Russell.com also features a user-friendly index returns calculator and a detailed summary of Russell’s pioneering index construction and methodology, all of which is available at www.russell.com/Indexes.
