Small Caps in Focus: U.S. Small Cap Performance Continues to Draw Attention as Russell Readies Annual Index Reconstitution
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/09/15 -- U.S. small cap stocks, as reflected by the Russell 2000® Index, outperformed U.S. large cap stocks, as reflected by the Russell 1000® Index, for the first quarter and year-to-date as of June 5. However, large caps have led since the completion of the last Russell Indexes reconstitution at U.S. market close on Friday, June 27, 2014.
Investors will be focused on the Russell Indexes in the coming weeks, as Russell prepares for its annual indexes reconstitution. At reconstitution, the entire Russell family of global indexes, including the Russell 1000® Index and Russell 2000® Index, are rebalanced to ensure that the indexes continue to accurately reflect the market. As part of the reconstitution process, which will conclude at U.S. market close on Friday, June 26th, composition, ranges and breakpoints between U.S. large and small-cap stocks will be adjusted to reflect the current market environment.
