What is the Russell Eurozone SMID 150 Index?

The Russell Eurozone SMID 150 Index is a highly liquid index containing the 150 most rapidly-tradable stocks from the small- and mid-cap (SMID-cap) equity market in developed euro zone countries. Its innovative approach to constituent selection ensures a broad representation of stocks from across the capitalization range and easy, rapid trading of every single underlying constituent. Tradable products based on the index are likely to represent a lower implementation cost alternative to the existing indexes used as proxies for small- and mid-cap markets.

What is the Russell Developed Eurozone SMID Index?

The Russell Developed Eurozone SMID Index is a broad-based SMID-cap index used for benchmarking purposes. It has been constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the SMID-cap segment of the developed euro zone equity market and is completely reconstituted annually to accurately reflect the changes in the market over time.
