Russell Indexes: Eurozone Outperformed US, Asia & Emerging Markets in the Third Quarter as of September 26th
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/28/12 --
The Russell Eurozone Index returned +9.3% in the third quarter as of September 26th relative to a +4.5% return for the Russell 1000® Index, a +3.9% return for the Russell Asia Pacific Index and a +5.5% return for the Russell Emerging Markets Index.
For 2012 year-to-date as of September 26th, the Russell 1000® Index has returned +16.9% relative to a +13.2% return for the Russell Eurozone Index, a +12.6% return for the Russell Emerging Markets Index and a +11.2% return for the Russell Asia Pacific Index.
Within the Russell Eurozone Index, Greece (+20.4%), Germany (+12.5%) and Spain (+12.2%) lead all country constituents for third quarter performance as of September 26th.
"Global markets continue to be volatile in 2012. In the third quarter, and largely in anticipation of a global monetary easing cycle (from the US Fed, the ECB, and increasingly likely in China) investors have been more inclined to assume more risk. This is a change relative to Q2. Perhaps not commonly appreciated is that, despite the continuing turmoil in the Eurozone and the latest weakness, Eurozone markets have exhibited strong relative performance, particularly in recent months," said Stephen Wood, Russell Investments chief market strategist. "Globally, the index data show diverse returns and investors need to consider these regional market differences when managing a global, multi-asset investment portfolio."
The Russell Global Index includes more than 10,000 securities in 48 countries and covers 98% of the investable global market. All securities in the index are classified according to size, region, country and sector. Daily Returns for the main components are available here:
