SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (NASDAQ: SBC) has announced that it has been added to the Russell 3000® Index, effective after the US market opens on June 30, as part of the 2025 Russell Indexes reconstitution. Membership in the Russell 3000® Index 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.
As of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US Indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider. This move is significant as Russell Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies.
Fiona Bassett, CEO of FTSE Russell, commented on the importance of recalibrating the suite of Russell US Indexes to ensure they accurately represent the market. The transition to a semi-annual reconstitution frequency from 2026 will ensure the indexes continue to represent the market and maintain the purpose of the index as a portfolio benchmark.
