Featured Indexing Insights

A Closer Look at Small/Mid Cap Indices

Historically, the Russell Small Cap Completeness and Russell 2500 benchmarks have delivered comparable results. However, in 2020 the gap in performance widened, highlighting how subtle differences in index construction can lead to significant divergence.

Active Solutions

Applying Precision for Pre-Retirees

Active management can play an important role in providing participants, particularly those closest to retirement, with meaningful levels of replacement income. However, the pre-retiree population doesn’t have as much time to absorb market volatility as their younger counterparts, meaning active strategies for this segment are most effective when returns are gained strategically, not in feverish pursuit of alpha.
