Fact sheet

Definitions
The Russell Microcap Value Index measures the performance of the microcap value segment of the U.S. Equity market. It includes those Russell Microcap Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
The Russell Microcap Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the microcap value market. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true microcap value market.
