Small Cap Divergence: Smart Beta Indexes Reflecting U.S. Small- and Large-Cap Stocks Held Up Well Despite Russell 2000(R) Index Downturn Year-to-Date as of October 7; Russell Indexes
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Oct 10, 2014) - While some experts and industry pundits have expressed concern that the underperformance of small cap stocks in 2014, as reflected by the Russell 2000® Index, relative to the U.S. large cap stocks, as reflected by the Russell 1000® Index, may negatively impact "smart beta" indexes, this does not appear to be the case for certain Russell Indexes.
