About e-Mini Russell 2000 Futures

Designed to track the Russell 2000 Index, the e-Mini Russell 2000 futures index measures the performance of the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index.  This index is representative of the investable U.S.  small-capitalization equity market.  The Index is value-weighted and includes only common stocks belonging to corporations domiciled in the U.S.  and its territories.  There are three main purposes of the R2K Index: it acts as a performance standard for active managers, it serves as a proxy for asset allocation purposes, and it becomes a purchasable and replicable vehicle for passive investment strategy.  Since its inception, the R2K Index has become the premier measure of small-capitalization stocks and is widely followed by U.S.  fund managers.  When the Chicago Mercantile Exchange introduced the Russell 2000 futures and options in 1993, it gave investors the opportunity to manage small-cap portfolio risk, as well as to gain exposure to this market segment.
