GuruNet Joins New Russell Microcap(TM) Index NEW YORK, July 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GuruNet Corporation (AMEX: GRU), creators of the Answers.com answer-based search engine, today announced that it has joined the new Russell Microcap(TM) Index. Russell recently posted its membership list at http://www.russell.com/US/Indexes. The Russell Microcap(TM) Index comprises the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000(R) Index plus the next 1,000 companies, based on a ranking of all U.S. equities by market capitalization. This new index offers managers and other investors a comprehensive, unbiased barometer to compare their performance against the genuine micro marketplace of stocks. "We're honored to be added to the new Russell index," said Bob Rosenschein, Chairman and CEO of GuruNet. "We hope that coverage on this index will contribute to our visibility among the investment community, and support our efforts to build shareholder value." Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. More than $2.5 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to them. Investment managers who oversee these funds purchase shares of member stocks according to that company's weighting in the particular index. Companies slated for the Russell Microcap were ranked as of May 31 by total market capitalization and weighted based on free-float adjustment, an integral aspect of Russell index methodology. Free-float adjustment means stocks are weighted by their available market capitalization which is calculated by multiplying the primary closing price by the available shares.
