Growth Indexes Get More Dynamic in 2015; Russell Indexes
U.S. Growth Stocks Have Continued to Outperform U.S. Value Stocks While Shifting From Defensive to Dynamic Orientation Year-to-Date as of March 2nd
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/04/15 -- Both U.S. large and small cap stocks, as reflected by the Russell 1000® Index and Russell 2000® Index, respectively, have been driven by growth-oriented stocks in the last 12 months as of March 2. And yet while defensive-oriented growth stocks had the strongest performance in the last 12 months, 2015 to date as of March 2 has seen a notable shift in the growth area toward more dynamic-oriented stocks and sectors.
Growth stocks have outperformed value stocks across large and small caps in the U.S. by a notable margin in the last year with the performance margin getting wider in 2015 as of March 2, as measured by the Russell 1000® and Russell 2000® Growth Indexes.
And while defensive-oriented growth stocks outperformed dynamic-oriented growth stocks in the U.S. across large- and small-cap stocks in the past year, the Russell combined style indexes show a clear shift toward dynamic-oriented stocks in 2015 as of March 2.
"Russell developed its combined style indexes to help investors take a step beyond traditional growth and value performance distinctions in market analysis to understand what types of stocks are driving these two styles. For instance, growth may be leading value during any given period, with growth managers focusing more on defensive-oriented names. On the other hand, value may be leading growth during a certain period, with value managers favoring more dynamic-oriented names. While growth-oriented U.S. stocks have clearly been in favor over the last year across all cap tiers, Russell''s combined style indexes show us a clear shift by growth investors toward dynamic-oriented stocks and away from defensive-oriented stocks in 2015. Defensive stocks typically have relatively high quality characteristics such as earnings stability and low market volatility, while dynamic stocks typically have weaker quality and greater realized volatility."
