“Inclusion in the Russell 2000 is further recognition of our continued progress and the growth of our business,” said James DeBello, chairman and CEO, Mitek. “We look forward to the additional visibility and exposure of MITK within the investment community that comes along with being part of the Russell 2000 Index.”
The rebalanced Russell Global, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, Russell 3000, Russell Midcap, and Russell Microcap Indexes will begin trading today, June 27, 2016.
Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000®, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for these indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $6 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the Russell U.S. indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
