With the Russell Index reconstitution happening at the close of the market on June 27, there will be a massive amount of stock movement, and millions of shares traded by index funds and traders trying to game the event. Some stocks are bought within the Russell 1000 or 2000 to increase their index weighting and some are sold to decrease their weighting. In some cases, stocks move between the two indexes.

The Jefferies Quantitative team expects that $1.3 billion in information technology stocks will be bought, and more than $900 million in consumer staples stocks that will be sold.

We wanted to focus on the top eight new stocks that are being added to the index. Investors that get a jump on adding these top names may see a lift as we get closer to the end of the month and the actual additions, assuming that market conditions comply.

Here are the eight new stocks that will be added to the Russell 1000 Index. Many had recent initial public offerings.

Legging some money into these names that are to be added might be a solid investment idea for long-term investors. Sometimes names that are shown the door end up trading higher. A good example of that was when long-term Dow Jones member Alcoa was removed and has almost doubled since. Just remember, if the market falls handily, index buying will only slow down the selling a bit in those shares.
