(Alliance News) - Index provider FTSE Russell on Thursday said it plans to introduce a new index of global stocks aimed at US investors, without providing a launch date.
The Russell 9000 global index will be composed of Russell's flagship Russell 3000 index of US stocks, combined with the Russell 3000 developed world ex-US and Russell 3000 emerging markets indices.
FTSE Russell, part of London Stock Exchange Group PLC, said the new index is designed to support the global equity allocations of US investors, avoiding the complexities of "differing regional methodologies".
"The Russell 9000 global index builds on the strength and familiarity of the Russell US indexes, extending a transparent and rules-based approach to a global scale," said Gerald Toledano, head of Equity & Multi Assets at FTSE Russell. "This new benchmark applies a consistent methodology across core building blocks, providing a clear and practical framework for global equity allocation."
FTSE Russell said the companies in the Russell 9000 will be weighted by float-adjusted market capitalisation. The index will prioritise American depositary receipts of companies when these ADRs are more liquid than their local listings.
Like existing Russell indices, the new global index will be reconstituted twice a year on the fourth Friday of June and second Friday of December.
