, a women's healthcare company focused on developing and commercializing products targeted exclusively for women, announced today that the company had been added to the 2013 Russell 3000® Index. Membership in the broad-based Russell 3000® Index also means inclusion in the Russell 2000® and Russell Global Indexes. Annual reconstitution of Russell U.S. Indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May 2013, ranking them by total market capitalizations. “We are pleased to note our addition to the prestigious Russell Indexes, as it marks another significant step in the development of our company as a leader in the women's healthcare field,” said Robert Finizio, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “The enhanced profile generated by the Russell Indexes will enable us to increase awareness of TherapeuticsMD and reach a broader investor base.” Russell Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. Approximately $4.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the Russell Indexes. The Russell 2000® Index is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of that index. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 2000® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set.
