Russell 3000 Historical Data

---

The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

Russell's index story began in 1984 when the firm launched its family of U.S. indexes to measure U.S. market segments and hence better track the performance of investment managers. The resulting methodology produced the broad-market Russell 3000 Index and subcomponents such as the small-cap Russell 2000 Index.

In January 2007, Russell applied its pioneering index methodology to the world's equity markets and introduced a family of global indexes. Similar to how the Russell 3000 captures nearly all of the U.S. equity market, the Russell Global Index captures 98% of the global equity market.
