Russell Looking to Further Bolster ETF Offerings

Russell Investments, the firm behind the Russell indexes and a variety of investment discipline ETFs, has filed plans with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to introduce four more ETFs to the firm's growing lineup. Washington-based Russell has filed plans to introduce the Russell U.S. Large Cap ETF, the Russell Large Cap Growth ETF, the Russell U.S. Large Cap Value ETF and the Russell U.S. All Cap ETF. Tickers and expense ratios were not disclosed for any of the funds. The All Cap ETF will be actively managed and seek to identify the Russell 3000 stocks with the best potential to outperform that index. The Large Cap Value ETF will also be actively managed and will take the same approach to the Russell 1000 index. Russell's other two ETFs that it filed plans for will also be actively managed and look to outperform the Russell 1000. Earlier this month, Russell introduced the Russell Small Cap Aggressive Growth ETF SGGG, the Russell Small Cap Consistent Growth ETF SCOG, the Russell Small Cap Low P/E ETF SCLP, and the Russell Small Cap Contrarian ETF SCTR.
