Two additional Pure Style indexes are based on the Russell 1000 universe, which, again, encompasses the Top 200 and Midcap universes. Thus there are eight Pure Style indexes in all. The modular approach of Russell’s standard style methodology leads to an intentional overlap of roughly 30 percent of the total market value weight in the two indexes (Figure 1), which results in a reduction in the strength of the style exposure. This may not suit the needs of all investors. Russell style indexes have been the primary benchmarks for use by style investors ever since the launch of Russell’s first value and growth indexes in 1987. As of year-end 2014, more than half of all U.S. institutional equity products are benchmarked to a style index, and of those products, 99 percent are benchmarked to a Russell style index. 1

Photograph: Elaine Constantine On April 7, 2015, Russell Indexes launched the Russell Pure Style Index Series, which builds on Russell Indexes’ long history of index innovation.

Covering all capitalization components of the Russell 3000® Index, the series comprises: We’ve described the standard Russell Style methodology and its role in the Pure Style methodology.

As well it might. Northern style has always rested in its specificity, no matter what individual shapes it might be taking in any given season. The devil is always in the detail. Those details travel. The beauty of northern style is that it all happens a long way away from London, where the industry of fashion can force a persuasive, strict, business-like hand over the divisions of elegance, where those with money are assumed to have more taste than those without. The weather helps counterbalance matters a little. You need clothes up there. The second main use of style indexes is to support institutional investors’ strategic asset allocation processes. After a pension plan sponsor, for example, decides on an overall percentage allocation to equities, there is usually another step: deciding on the segmentation of the equity allocation into “core” investments (a category with no overall style or cap bias), and then into value, growth, small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap investments. Indexes are used as proxies for the market segments in asset allocation analysis. In that context, value and growth indexes are typically constructed to be modular and to split the overall market into complementary components that neatly roll up to the overall broad market index. Viewing the garden as an extension of the home, and with ideas for all seasons, this beautiful and inspiring book is illustrated with glorious photographs and enchanting paintings by the author herself. The lifespan of the exhibition has weathered either side of the Brexit vote, arriving in London opportunely when the north/south divide has rarely been at such an optimum brokerage. Because of the shadow Westminster casts over the city, the capital never looks uncooler than under a Tory government. The most famous exponent of the most iconoclastic living London designer, Vivienne Westwood, is Theresa May. North is a reminder of the spirit that informed punk’s queen couturier when Viv was growing up in Tintwistle and had nothing to lean on but her imagination, curiosity and taste.
