Finally, an common oversight with index funds is that contrary to popular belief, these funds generally attempt to mimic the performance of a certain index, not buy everything in it. They accomplish this by overweighting certain stocks that represent a similar basket of stocks that would parallel the performance of the index they are attempting to track. For the Russell 2000, I would be shocked if there is a fund that has every stock in that fund. Just my 2Cents worth from experience in researching funds a few years back. Some stocks that are exiting the index may be sold, but by no means is a fund tracking the Russell obligated to buy the new additions.
