About Russell 2000
The Russell 2000 is a stock market index that tracks the performance of 2,000 small-cap companies in the United States. It is a subset of the broader Russell 3000 Index and represents approximately 5% of the Russell 3000’s total market capitalisation. Created in 1984 by FTSE Russell, the Russell 2000 has become the most widely referenced benchmark for US small-cap equities, used by fund managers, analysts, and investors to measure the health and direction of smaller domestic American companies.

How does the Russell 2000 work?
The Russell 2000 tracks the performance of 2,000 small-cap US-listed companies, selected as the 1,001st to 3,000th largest companies by market capitalisation within the Russell 3000 Index. It is a market-capitalisation-weighted index.
What does the Russell 2000 indicate?
The Russell 2000 is a key indicator of the health of the US small-cap equity segment and, more broadly, of domestic US economic conditions. Because small-cap companies generate most of their revenues domestically, the index is sensitive to US-specific economic data including employment, consumer spending, and interest rate changes.
What is the computing method of the Russell 2000?
The Russell 2000 is weighted using a float-adjusted market-capitalisation methodology, so companies with larger eligible market capitalisations generally have greater influence on the index.
What is the criterion for selection and review of stocks in the Russell 2000?
The Russell 2000 selects the 1,001st to 3,000th largest companies by market cap from the broader Russell 3000 universe. Eligible stocks must be US-incorporated, trade on a major US exchange, and meet strict minimum liquidity, float, and $1.00 share price rules. The index undergoes a reconstitution semi-annually, in June and December and updates its component stock list.
How often do Russell 2000 constituents change?
The Russell 2000 undergoes a reconstitution semi-annually, in June and December. During this process, FTSE Russell reassesses the entire Russell 3000 universe and reallocates companies based on updated market capitalisation data.
Can you buy the Russell 2000 directly?
The Russell 2000 cannot be purchased directly as it is an index. However, investors can buy ETFs or index funds that track the Russell 2000.
What are the historical returns of the Russell 2000?
As of September 2026, the Russell 2000 index has provided the following historical returns:
- 1 Year: 26.18%
- 5 Years: 29.73%
What are some of the popular companies in the Russell 2000?
Russell 2000 is home to popular companies such as Moog Inc, UMB Financial Corporation, Glaukos Corp, Krystal Biotech, BrightSpring Health Services, and JFrog Ltd. These companies lead the index and significantly influence its movement because of their large market capitalisations in the small-cap segment.
