What is Russell 2000 Index?

The Russell 2000 Index is a widely recognised benchmark for small-cap stocks in the United States. It includes the smallest 2,000 companies in the Russell Index, representing a diverse range of industries such as healthcare, technology, and financials.

Launched in 1984 by the Frank Russell Company and now managed by FTSE Russell, the Russell 2000 is often used to gauge the performance of small-cap stocks and is considered a bellwether for the U.S. economy due to its focus on domestic companies.

This index provides investors with insights into the growth and performance of smaller, more agile companies that can offer significant growth potential.

What is a Warrant?

A warrant is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specified price before the expiration date. Warrants are often used to gain exposure to stocks, commodities, currencies, and indices with leverage, allowing investors to amplify their potential returns.
