2000 Index ETF Trading Information
Why
is there volatility in the ETF?
Well, the top-performing stocks often become too large
for the Russell 2000, and thus move into the
Russell 1000 (a list of the 1000 largest
companies traded in the U.S.). Meanwhile, some laggards from
the Russell 1000 fall back into the small-cap
universe of the Russell 2000. This may be why
fund managers like this index as a benchmark due to this
reconstitution every year! |
