Similarly, SPDRs launched TWOK in mid-2013 to compete in the Russell 2000 space and this fund has gathered about $57 million in AUM since inception. The Russell 2000 is a very deep index in terms of diversification as are the linked ETFs, in the sense that not only do they own about 2,000 individual names, but the top holding is only responsible for about 0.34% of the total index weight.
Currently, top holdings are PBYI (0.34%), ISIS (no not THAT ISIS), (0.28%), WEX (0.26%), TMH (0.25%), and GPK (0.25%) with the Technology sector making up the largest part of the index (>17%).
