Made up of the 1000 largest companies within the Russell 3000 index. It is also known as the Market-Oriented Index because it represents the group of stocks from which most active money managers choose. The returns we publish for the index are total returns, which include reinvestment of dividends. This less-frequently cited version of the index weighs each of the components equally, while the more popular version weighs the components based upon their individual market capitalizations.
