Pareteum Joins Russell 3000 Index
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – July 2, 2019 – Pareteum Corporation (Nasdaq: TEUM), (“Pareteum” or the “Company”), a rapidly growing Cloud Communications Platform company, joined the Russell 3000® Index at the conclusion of the Russell U.S. Indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market opened on July 1, according to a preliminary list of final additions posted on June 28.
“We are pleased to be added to the Russell 3000® Index as it raises Pareteum’s profile among the investment community, may initiate increased institutional ownership of our stock, and is another step towards our commitment to generating long-term shareholder value,” said Hal Turner, Pareteum’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We are executing on our growth strategy and we believe inclusion in the index is a testament to the strong performance we have achieved. We remain focused on delivering continued growth and capitalizing on the large global opportunity before us.”
Annual Russell Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of May 10, ranking them by total market capitalization. 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 1000Ò Index or small cap Russell 2000Ò 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.
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. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
