Russell 3000

A stock index that tracks the 3000 U.S. stocks with the highest market capitalization. The list is updated yearly, during a process known as reconstitution. There are two sub-indexes which are based on the Russell 3000: the Russell 1000, which follows the 1000 stocks with the largest market capitalization values, and the Russell 2000, which follows the remaining 2000 stocks, those with the smallest values.
