"set to join the small-cap Russell 2000® Index at the conclusion"

A stock market index that tracks the performance of roughly 2,000 publicly traded U.S. companies with smaller market values, representing the broader small-cap segment of the market. It matters to investors because it acts like a thermometer for smaller companies—used as a benchmark to compare fund performance, guide portfolio allocation, and gauge economic or market trends affecting growth-oriented, higher-risk firms.

small-cap financial

"set to join the small-cap Russell 2000® Index at the conclusion"

Small-cap describes publicly traded companies with a relatively low total market value, measured by multiplying their share price by the number of shares outstanding — think of them as smaller boats in a large investment fleet. They matter to investors because they often offer greater growth potential than bigger firms but also come with higher price swings, lower trading volume, and therefore greater risk and potential difficulty buying or selling shares.
