The ability to find closely correlated positions to IShares Russell could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace IShares Russell when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back IShares Russell - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling iShares Russell 2000 to buy it.
The correlation of IShares Russell is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as IShares Russell moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if iShares Russell 2000 moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.

The market value of iShares Russell 2000 is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of IShares that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of IShares Russell's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is IShares Russell's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because IShares Russell's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect IShares Russell's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between IShares Russell's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if IShares Russell is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, IShares Russell's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
