Quarterly IPO additions
Enhancing market representation year round

In addition to Russell's
annual reconstitution, Initial Public Offerings are added to Russell indexes at the end of each calendar quarter.

Russell's complete reconstitution is designed to ensure that the Russell indexes truly represent the market. We have determined annual frequency is the best balance between market representation and turnover costs. Adding IPOs quarterly, in addition to reconstitution, leads to an enhanced market representation without significant turnover.
