What:
Russell Investments will visit the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City's Times Square to commemorate the first day of real-time data from the newly launched RussellTick, a proprietary data service developed by NASDAQ OMX.
RussellTick will offer investors and traders worldwide instantaneous access to Russell intraday index values -- including the industry-leading U.S. small-cap Russell 2000 Index, the U.S. large-cap Russell 1000 Index and the U.S. broad-market Russell 3000 Index -- consolidated into one data source for the first time.
In honor of the occasion, Sara Wilson, Regional Director at Russell Investments, will preside over the NASDAQ Closing Bell.
The partnership between Russell Investments and NASDAQ OMX is made possible by the NASDAQ OMX Global Access program. Global Access facilitates the distribution of Russell index data through one of the largest and most successful data distribution organizations in the world.
