The index is a composite of roughly 200 securities issued by the largest companies in the U.S. in terms of market capitalization. The Russell Top 200 Value Index is a subset of the securities found in the Russell Top 200 Index. As of this writing, there were approximately 130 securities in the Russell Top 200 Value Index. The stocks included in the value index are selected based on a "probability" of value as measured by their relative book-to-price (B/P) ratio.

On the last trading day of May, FSTE Russell ranks eligible companies based on their total market capitalization values. On the last Friday of June, the index is reconstituted. To be eligible for inclusion in a U.S. equity market index, the securities must trade on the NYSE, NYSE MKT, NASDAQ, or ARCA exchanges.
