53 new health care companies added to the Russell 2000
Each year, Russell Investments rebalances its family of indexes, in order to more accurately reflect global equity markets. The Tacoma, Wash.-based firm assigns the largest companies to the Russell 1000, and then the next largest firms to the small-cap Russell 2000 index. After Friday's closing bell, the roster of companies in Russell's indexes was finalized for the next 12 months.
Fifty-three health care stocks were added to the small-cap index this year. Thirty firms were deleted for a net gain of 23 companies.
After the annual reconstitution, the following 52 health care companies were added to the small-cap Russell 2000 index according to the Associated Press. These companies were not listed on the Russell 2000 or the large-cap Russell 1000 during the prior year.
