How the Russell Indexes deliver an objective view of the ever-changing US equity market.

Russell Reconstitution, which occurs each year in June, is a top-to-bottom recalibration of the US equity market benchmarks and the membership of the entire Russell series of indexes. Reconstitution ensures that the indexes continue to accurately reflect the current state of equity markets and their market capitalization segments (large cap, mid cap, small cap, micro-cap), industry breakdowns and style structure. Given this continual evolution of the equity markets, the annual Russell Reconstitution:

- Ensures the Russell Indexes deliver an objective, accurate and transparent view of the equity opportunity set
- Establishes new thresholds for market capitalization size segments
- Adjusts where companies lie along the growth/value and defensive/dynamic style continuums

This highly anticipated event is closely tracked by professional money managers as they rebalance their portfolios with the goal of minimizing unwanted benchmark risk. Other close observers include brokerage houses, who, in the weeks leading up to Reconstitution, prepare for large blocks of trades by researching and reporting on the shifts that may occur, managing their inventory accordingly.

Russell US Reconstitution: mitigating risk with derivatives

Green investment needs to scale rapidly to limit the rise of global temperatures to 1.5°C, with recent studies estimating that between US$109-275 trillion is required by 2050.

Growing the green economy is important for participants across the financial ecosystem and is driven by public and private investments. LSEG is helping drive the growth of the green economy through the provision of data and market infrastructure, enabling investors to identify and act on investment opportunities.

Canadian fixed income ... after 'death by duration'

After enjoying the smooth ride for many years, fixed income investors are suddenly faced with the risks associated with rising interest rates. The Bank of England has already delivered a series of rate hikes to combat inflation and this policy shift has led to yields moving upwards of 4% in some parts of the yield curve. The direction of UK economic policy and recent changes in issuance patterns by the DMO will largely determine where the opportunity lies for rates investors.
 
Despite a rapidly changing fixed income environment, there is a path forward for bond investors. By using a rules-based investment approach typically employed in active portfolio construction, investors can improve risk-adjusted returns in the fixed income markets.

Join experts from Goldman Sachs Asset Management and FTSE Russell as they discuss the outlook for the UK Gilts market, and potential ways for investors to access it through the FTSE Goldman Sachs UK Gilts 1-10 Year Index. 
 
Topics will include:
• An overview of the UK macroeconomic outlook and implications for rate markets
• A discussion on which points of the curve could be more attractive for investors in the current environment
• A highlight of Goldman Sachs Access ETF that track FTSE Goldman Sachs fixed income indices
