Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) JUMP AHEAD TO Barclays Global Investors Rydex Investments State Street Global Advisors ProShares A variety of exchange-traded products are based on Russell's premier U.S. equity index family. These products are not distributed by Russell. You may find more information and purchasing capability via the various exchanges which sell them. Exchange-traded funds Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are index-based products that allow investors to buy or sell shares of entire portfolios of stock in a single security. Moreover, an ETF is a type of investment vehicle whose objective is to achieve the same return as a particular market, and is similar to an index fund in that it will primarily invest in the securities of companies that are included in a selected market index. Russell's innovative methodology has helped its indexes become the benchmarks most used by institutional investors. Russell indexes are comprehensive — representing over 98% of the investable universe worldwide. They are completely objective and represent industries and sectors with a wide variety of securities, rather than samples found in other indexes. And Russell Indexes are reconstituted annually to ensure constant coverage of the market. Find out how to invest in ETFs based on Russell Indexes in the lists below.
