The Frank Russell Company estimates that approximately $25 billion is invested in passive funds using the Russell 2000 Index as a model. More assets are managed by active portfolio managers who use the Index as a benchmark. The annual adjustment recalibrates the Russell 2000 Index to today's market realities. It also serves as a clear, unbiased measure of the shift in relative individual company valuations over the past 12 months. Companies being added to the Index have seen their total market value rise over those already in the Russell 2000.
Chicago Board Options Exchange
ANSYS, Inc. was selected in December 2001 for listing on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Options can greatly reduce the risk inherent in stock ownership during periods of economic uncertainty.

Moreover, every study of the options market has concluded that options add to the capital formation process so important to major corporations. Money managers, banks, insurance companies and other institutions actively seek companies with listed options as part of their portfolio activity. In fact, it is widely accepted that options trading enhances the liquidity of the underlying stocks.
