NEWTOWN, Pa., June 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Forian Inc. is
set to join the broad-market Russell
3000® Index at the conclusion of the
2021 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the US
market opens on June 28, 2021,
according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 4, 2021.
Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest
US stocks as of May 7, 2021, ranking
them by total market capitalization. Membership in the US all-cap
Russell 3000® Index, 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 its
Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization
rankings and style attributes.
"Forian's inclusion in the Russell 2000® marks
another exciting milestone as a publicly traded company. We are
committed to our vision of bringing disruptive and innovative
technology and analytic products to the healthcare and cannabis
marketplaces," said Dan Barton,
Chief Executive Officer of Forian.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and
institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for
active investment strategies. Approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against
Russell's US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a
leading global index provider.
