MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted Index

The MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted Index is based on a traditional market cap weighted parent index, the MSCI USA Small Cap Index, which includes US small cap stocks. The MSCI USA Small Cap Value Weighted Index reweights each security of the parent index to emphasize stocks with lower valuations. Index weights are determined using fundamental accounting data-sales, book value, earnings and cash earnings-rather than market prices.
