The Russell 2000 Index is a small-cap stock market index of the bottom 2,000 stocks in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 2000 is by far the most common benchmark for mutual funds that identify themselves as "small-cap", while the S&P 500 is used primarily for "large-cap" stocks. It is the most widely quoted measure of the overall performance of the small-cap to mid-cap company shares. The index represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. The average market capitalization for a company in the index is around $530 million. The median market cap is around $410 million. The market cap of the largest company in the index is around $1.4 billion. As of early November 2009, the index traded at the 602.87 level down 29% from its highs around the 855 level in July 2007. It is touted as the worlds most volatile stock index, but is outstripped by the german Dax 30.[citation needed] There is the competing S&P 600 from Standard & Poor's, which is not commonly used, along with other indexes from other financial information providers. The ticker symbol is ^RUT.
