Russell 2000® Value Index

Overview

This section constitutes only a brief overview of the Russell 2000® Value Index. The index is described in more detail under “The Underliers — Russell 2000® Value Index” in the underlier supplement referred to in “About This Index Supplement” below.

 

The Russell 2000® Value Index (current Bloomberg symbol: “RUJ Index”), which we also refer to in this index supplement as the “index,” is a sub-index of the Russell 2000® Index. The Russell 2000® Value Index is generally considered to be a “small-cap” U.S. equity index and is predominantly comprised of value stocks, meaning stocks issued by companies thought to be undervalued by the market relative to comparable companies. The Russell 2000® Index measures the composite price performance of stocks of 2,000 companies incorporated in the U.S., its territories and certain “benefit-driven incorporation countries” and is designed to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market.

The index has a base date of May 31, 1993, with a base value of 1000.00, as adjusted, and is calculated, maintained and published by FTSE Russell.

We have derived all information contained in this index supplement regarding the index from publicly available information. Additional information about the index is available on the following website: ftserussell.com/products/indices/russell-us. We are not incorporating by reference the website or any material it includes in this index supplement.

The graph below shows the daily historical closing levels of the index from January 2, 2019 through September 3, 2024. As a result, the below graph does not reflect the global financial crisis which began in 2008, which had a materially negative impact on the price of most equity securities and, as a result, the level of most equity indices. We obtained the closing levels in the graph below from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification. You should not take the historical levels of the index as an indication of its future performance.

For comparative purposes, the graph below shows the performance, from January 2, 2019 through September 3, 2024, of the Russell 2000® Value Index (in black), the Russell 2000® Index (in gray) and a broad-based equity index, the S&P 500® Index (in blue).

For comparative purposes, each of the Russell 2000® Value Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index have been adjusted to have a closing level of 100.00 on January 2, 2019 by dividing the applicable closing level on each day by that index’s closing level on January 2, 2019 and multiplying the quotient by 100.00.

The daily historical closing levels of the indices used to create this graph were obtained from Bloomberg Financial Services, without independent verification.
