Money managers and other practitioners use multiple metrics to identify and measure investment styles – Value and Growth. CRSP scores each security and determines its weight in the appropriate Value index using the following factors:
CRSP developed and maintains Sector Indexes for all stocks included in the CRSP US Total Market Index segmented by the business characteristics of each issuing company. CRSP uses ICE Uniform Entity Sectors (UES) codes to assign issuing companies and their stock to the appropriate sector.
Using CRSP Market Indexes Methodology, CRSP Count™ tracks changes in the number of securities by market cap segments – Mega, Mid, Small and Micro – through time.
We are excited to share that CRSP’s research datasets were used in ~2,100 research papers published in 2024.
Notable items with this release include:
– December was rough for nearly all Indexes with Value and Smaller Caps taking the brunt of the hit
– Mega and Large Growth were the only style Indexes to post gains for December
– Despite December’s performance, all cap and style Indexes ended the year with double digit returns
