About

What is the Russell 2000?

The Russell 2000 tracks the smallest 2,000 stocks within the broader Russell 3000 universe, making it the most widely-followed US small-cap benchmark. It is closely watched because small caps tend to be more domestically-oriented than large caps, so the index is often read as a gauge of US domestic economic health.

History
