Russell is continuously raising the industry standard for index construction and methodology. The Report’s goals accord with Russell’s bedrock principles: • Index providers’ design standards must be objective and sound; • Indices must provide a faithful and unbiased barometer of the market they represent; • Index methodologies should be transparent and readily available free of charge; • Index providers’ operations should be governed by an appropriate governance structure; and • Index providers’ internal controls should promote efficient and sound index operations. These are all principles deeply ingrained in Russell’s heritage, practiced daily and they guide Russell as the premier provider of indices and multi-asset solutions. Russell is a leader in constructing and maintaining securities indices and is the publisher of the Russell Indexes. Russell operates through subsidiaries worldwide and is a subsidiary of The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Russell Indexes are constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the market segment they represent. All of the Russell Indexes are reconstituted periodically, but not less frequently than annually or more frequently than monthly, to ensure new and growing equities and fixed income securities are reflected in its indices.
