	Russell Style Indices
		In developing the indexes many style models were tested along with many variables, but the non-linear probability model best approximated the behavior of style investment managers and the "ponds" in which they fished.
		They found that in terms of index returns, for most periods during the years 1982 through 2000, the returns of the simulated indexes are very similar for annual, semi-annual and quarterly reconstitution.
		When turnover is measured either by the number of name changes or the amount of an index portfolio that must be traded, the simulations suggest that increasing the frequency of reconstitution substantially increases the turnover of all the indexes.

	[No title]
		Russell weights index members by their float-adjusted market cap and explicitly excludes "locked-up" shares from IPO weights.
		Any IPO which has a market cap that justifies inclusion in an index, and which meets Russell's other membership rules, is added to the appropriate indexes after the U.S. equity markets close on scheduled date, which is March 31 this quarter.
		As IPOs are added to Russell indexes each quarter, Russell will not delete existing index members to make room for them, but will continue to reconstitute the indexes fully each year at the end of the second quarter.

	Russell Stock Market Indexes
		The Russell indexes are based primarily on market capitalization, so if a fund manager can’t perform better than a Russell index that mirrors the type of stocks that the fund invests in, then the fund manager isn’t worth anything.
		Index numbers may not be the exact number of stocks represented, because IPOs are added quarterly and deletions occur throughout the year because of corporate actions, spin-offs, or delisting.
		Because about $3.8 trillion worth of index mutual funds and exchange-traded funds are benchmarked against the Russell indexes, any new additions to the Russell index are bought by the fund managers to reflect the changes.

	Index Styles
		The difference between the Russell 3000 and the Wilshire 5000 is thousands of companies - but they're so small that taken together they only add up to about two or three percent of the total market (that's the small shaded area left over at the bottom of the Russell diagram).
		That's the index that Barra created by taking the stocks in the SandP 500 and then separating them into equal halves based on their price-to-book ratios.

	Kelly Haughton: FEN One on One Interview
		Kelly Haughton is the longtime strategic director for the Russell indexes, a suite of U.S. equity indexes launched in 1984.
		The bulk of assets are in the Russell 3000 and Russell 1000, which have a relatively low annual turnover, so the issue of reconstitution is not as significant for them.
		Russell has always done float-adjusted indexes — and float adjustment is a much bigger issue in Japan than in the U.S. because of the cross ownership between companies in Japan.

		We will discuss the methodology Russell uses to construct its value indexes, give examples of some companies that conflict with how we define value, and hope to bolster our contention that these value indexes should not be used as benchmarks for absolute value managers, such as ourselves.
		It is not our intent to have the Russell Investment Group change their index construction methodology, but merely to highlight some inconsistencies that we believe the methodology may have with the investment style it claims to track.
		While the Russell 2000 Value was up an impressive 13.5% in the first quarter of 2006, we question whether that return accurately portrays a value manager’s opportunity set when the index includes “value” companies such as Nuvelo, Atherogenics, and many others.
