AUSTIN, Texas, June 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vermillion, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VRML), a bioanalytical-based women’s health company focused on gynecologic disease, today announced that it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000 ® Index at the conclusion of the 2020 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the US stock market opens on June 29, 2020, according to a preliminary list of additions posted on June 5, 2020.
Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of May 8, 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.
“We are thrilled to join the Russell 3000 ® , which we believe will attract broader interest in Vermillion from institutional investors and investment funds,” said Valerie Palmieri, Chief Executive Officer of Vermillion, Inc. “We have made tremendous progress this year, both operationally and in year-over-year top line growth, even in the face of the challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic. We look forward to an easing of restrictions around the globe and a return to a more normal environment.”
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.
