Envela Set to Join Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap Indexes

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2020 / Envela Corporation (NYSE American:ELA) (“Envela” or the “Company”) announced that it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000 and the Russell Microcap Indexes at the conclusion of the 2020 Russell indexes’ annual reconstitution, effective after the US market opens on June 29, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 5.

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. Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

“Envela has been laser focused on managing expenses and investing in our recommerce subsidiaries; being added to the Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap Indexes reflects that we’re on the right path,” said John Loftus, Envela’s Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to continuing the hard work that we’ve begun, delivering superior service to our customers and strong growth to our investors,” added Loftus.

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.
