Membership in the U.S. 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 pleased to be included in the Russell 3000 and Microcap Indexes, a milestone that represents the significant growth our company has achieved developing our late stage clinical programs,” said Fabian Tenenbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Bellerophon. “We believe inclusion in these indexes will continue to increase our visibility in the investment community as we remain focused on advancing our robust clinical program for INOpulse® to address multiple cardiopulmonary and infectious lung diseases.”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 U.S. indexes.
