(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/02/12 --
The Russell 3000® Index and Russell 1000® Index posted identical returns of +12.9% for the first quarter of 2012, while the Russell 2000® Index returned +12.4% for the same time period.
The Technology sector of the Russell 3000® Index and the Russell 1000® Index both returned in excess of +20%, while the Healthcare sector of the Russell 2000® Index returned +15.4% return for the first quarter of 2012.
The Utilities sector returned the least across all three indexes for the quarter with a 0.0% return for the Russell 3000® Index and Russell 1000® Index and a (-0.2%) return for the Russell 2000® Index.
"During the first quarter of 2012 we observed an across the board renewal in the global appetite for risk assets. This was largely due to a continuing economic expansion in the U.S., the near term stabilization of the European debt crisis, and the beginning of a soft landing for the Chinese economy," said Stephen Wood, Chief Market Strategist at Russell Investments. "This trend was reflected in Russell U.S. index returns for the quarter."
