The Russell 1000 Index is a stock market benchmark that tracks the performance of the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies in the United States. It provides a snapshot of the overall health and movement of large-cap U.S. stocks, representing about 90% of the U.S. stock market's total value. Financial professionals often use it to gauge market trends, compare investment performance, and guide decision-making. Because it includes big, well-established companies across various industries, it’s a key indicator of the broader U.S. economy's strength and stability.
