The Russell Equal Weight Index Series offer a unique and practical alternative to conventional equal weighted indices.
Rather than simply assigning an equal weight to each constituent of the index, Russell's industry equal weight index methodology equally weights each industry within the index and then equally weights the companies within each industry.
This innovative approach provides greater diversification benefits than traditional equal weighted indices.
Equal weighting randomizes economic factor mispricing as well as prevents a few large companies from driving the index's performance.
Russell Equal Weight Index Series offer enhanced protection by equally weighting across eleven industries as defined by the ICB classification scheme to control for industry risk. Russell Equal Weight Index Series are re-weighted on a quarterly basis.
