The Russell 2000(R) Index measures the performance of the small-cap
segment of the U.S. equity universe. The Russell 2000(R) Index is a subset
of the Russell 3000(R) Index representing approximately 10% of the total
market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2000 of the
smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current
index membership. Based on the monthly statistics as of May 31, 2008, the
median market capitalization of the Russell 2000(R) Index was approximately
$541 million.
The Russell 2000(R) Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and
unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to
ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of
the true small-cap opportunity set.
