A market capitalization weighted index of the 50 largest stocks in the Russell 3000 universe of U.S.-based equities. The index can be considered a representation of mega cap stocks, as the average member's market cap is more than $175 billion. The index is reconstituted annually to account for new and growing member companies. Taobiz explains Russell Top 50 Index Because modern mega cap companies are so large, even though the index holds just 50 stocks it still represents a large proportion of all U.S. equities. For example, in 2007, the market cap of the stocks in the Russell Top 50 Index accounted for more than 40% of the total market capitalization of all U.S.-based equities. The Russell Top 50 Index also pays an above average dividend yield compared to the S&P 500, a reflection of the general safety and cash flow generation found among the largest traded companies.
A market capitalization weighted index of the largest 200 companies in the Russell 3000. The Russell Top 200 Index is a benchmark index for U.S.-based large-cap stocks; the average member has a market cap above $100 billion. The index is reconstituted annually to account for new members and growing companies. Taobiz explains Russell Top 200 Index The Russell Top 200 is a more concentrated index than the S&P 500, although most of the Russell Top 200 members are also included in the S&P. The Russell Top 200 Index represents approximately two thirds of the total market capitalization of all U.S. listed stocks.
A capitalization weighted index composed of all of the Russell 3000 stocks that are not represented in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The index is designed to allow investors to access the broad market for small- and mid-cap stocks without overlapping with commonly held stocks found in the S&P 500. The Small Cap Completeness Index is recalculated annually to account for both changes in the S&P 500 membership and in the Russell 3000. The average market cap for a member of the index is slightly less than $1 billion. Taobiz explains Russell Small Cap Completeness Index The range of market caps in the Completeness Index is very large; there are member companies with market caps as low as $30 million and those who top $75 billion. This is because some very large companies have yet to be included in the S&P 500, even though their market caps make them eligible.
