Russell 2000

Index of about 2,000 smaller US companies — the bottom segment of the Russell 3000 by market capitalization — reconstituted annually. It is the standard benchmark for US small-cap equities.

This asset is calculated across the venues linked above — a typed relationship in the dataset, not a name that happened to match. The parties named after it (FTSE Russell (index provider)) matter to how it trades but are not entities here.

No live level is shown for this asset: our open, keyless sources cover crypto, major FX crosses, the ECB policy rate, the US 10-year yield and US CPI — index levels and commodity prices are only available from licensed vendors, and we do not publish figures we cannot source openly. What we do carry.

Funds tracking this

iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM

Covered funds whose stated objective is this index, recorded as a relationship rather than inferred from a similar name. A fund tracking a different index with a similar name — the JPX-Nikkei 400 rather than the Nikkei 225, or an equal-weight variant — is deliberately not listed here.
