Russell expands Investment Discipline indexes into small cap arena

By Ashley Montgomery

Kansas City, Kan., Sept. 22 - Russell Investments said it that would add U.S. small cap indexes to its existing Investment Discipline Indexes.

The four new indexes include the Russell U.S. Small Cap Aggressive Growth Index, Russell U.S. Small Cap Consistent Growth Index, Russell U.S. Small Cap Low P/E Index and Russell U.S. Small Cap Contrarian Index.

"Over time, Russell analysts have identified common characteristics and preferences among investors seeking attractive investment opportunities across capitalizations," said Rolf Agather, Russell's managing director of index research and innovation, in a press release. "Our new small cap investment discipline indexes provide additional tools for small-cap investors to gain exposure to these strategies."

The Seattle-based financial services firm offers services to institutional investors, financial advisors and individuals.
