    CRSP Market Cap Indexes are a suite of broad US equity benchmarks that employs CRSP’s proprietary cap-segmentation methodology. To ensure the character of each cap segment is consistent through time, the methodology is based on a percentage-weight of the total US equity market instead of simple fixed constituent counts to represent each capitalization segment. CRSP Market Cap indexes also utilize CRSP’s unique index maintenance tools such as migration packeting, banding and transitional reconstitution to mitigate transaction costs from index changes.
