Editing Russell 2000 Index (section)

==Overview==
The Russell 2000 is by far the most common benchmark for [[mutual fund]]s that identify themselves as "[[Market capitalization#Market cap terms|small-cap]]",
while the [[S&P 500]] index is used primarily for large capitalization stocks. It is the most widely quoted measure of the overall performance of small-cap to mid-cap company shares. It is commonly considered an indicator of the U.S. economy due to its focus on small-cap companies in the U.S. market. The index represents approximately 7% of the total market capitalization of the [[Russell 3000 Index]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://research.ftserussell.com/Analytics/FactSheets/Home/DownloadSingleIssue?issueName=US2000USD&isManual=True |format=PDF |title=Index factsheet Russell 2000 Index |accessdate=2024-02-23 |quote=As of January 31, 2024 }}</ref> {{as of|2024|12|31}}, the weighted average market capitalization of a company in the index is approximately $3.65&nbsp;billion and the median market capitalization is approximately $0.99&nbsp;billion.
