Help your clients to achieve their goals with more personalised and precise investment solutions
Over the past two decades, index allocations have become a portfolio staple in the wealth management marketplace. More recently, direct indexing has risen to prominence in the index investing conversation.
As a growing number of wealth management firms and advisors implement direct indexing solutions, it’s essential they don’t underestimate the importance of index selection.
Our goal is to help wealth and asset managers add value for their clients via direct indexing solutions that are carefully tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
Our world-famous benchmarks, such as the Russell US Indexes, provide a solid foundation for personalised investment strategies.
With approximately $12 trillion in investor assets benchmarked to or invested in products based on the Russell US Indexes, advisors trust our indices to provide them with a robust, rules-driven and transparent foundation, providing a clear market segmentation across size (from micro to large cap) and style (growth, value, defensive, dynamic).
And if you are looking for an even more personalised approach, our team of leading research professionals and market experts can work with you to create the right solution for your clients, whether it’s helping them to meet specific risk objectives or achieve the particular responsible investment goals that are important to them.

Case studies
The index matters – Find out why
It is a common misperception that two indices covering the same market segment must be, essentially, interchangeable. But a better constructed index can enable you to capture your clients’ investment requirements with greater precision and get earlier access to fast-growing stocks. How your index is constructed and maintained may sound theoretical – but the potential impact on performance is real.
