CME® E-mini® Russell 2000® futures are based on the Russell 2000 Index, a capitalization-weighted index of approximately 2,000 actively traded, small-capitalization U.S. stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market. These futures offer financial institutions, investment managers, corporations and private investors a cost-effective way to manage small-cap portfolio risk as well as gain exposure to the small-cap equity market.
Companies listed in the Russell 2000 Index account for approximately eight percent of the total market capitalization in the Russell 3000 Index. Only common stocks belonging to U.S. incorporated corporations are eligible for inclusion. At the time of the Index’s yearly June 30th rebalancing, the top 3,000 U.S. securities are ranked by descending total market capitalization—the smallest 2,000 securities comprise the Russell 2000 Index. The CME E-mini Russell 2000 futures contract trades two months in the March quarterly cycle and moves in .10 index points, or $1.00 per contract.
