OptimizeRx Corp.  (Nasdaq: OPRX), a leading platform for digital health messaging in the pharmaceutical industry, is expected to join the Russell Microcap® and 3000® Indexes at the conclusion of the 2019 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market opens on July 1, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 21.

Membership in the Russell Microcap and 3000 Indexes, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes.

We expect our inclusion in these indexes to raise awareness of OptimizeRx across the investment community.”

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
