overall U.S. equity markets. The Russell Microcap® Index, a listing
of the smallest 1,000 companies in the Russell 2000® ranked by
market capitalization, plus 1,000 smaller US-based listed stocks,
is a widely-used measure of the performance of the smallest
tradable securities listed on US stock exchanges.
