Annual reconstitution of Russell's U.S. indexes captures the 4,000 largest
U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization.
Membership in the Russell 3000(R), which remains in place for one year, means
automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 Index or small-cap Russell
2000 Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell
determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective,
market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional
investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active
investment strategies. An industry-leading $4 trillion in assets currently are
benchmarked to them. These investment tools originated from Russell's
multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when Russell saw the need
for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate
outside investment managers.
