The Russell 2000 measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity market and is considered an important bellwether for the U.S. economy. Membership in the small-cap Russell 2000 Index is primarily determined by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes and the list is reconstituted each year from the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of May 10, ranked by total market capitalization. 

"We are pleased that our market capitalization has grown in size sufficiently to qualify for inclusion in the Russell 2000," said Murray Holland, GWGH's Chief Executive Officer. "Inclusion in this important index will bring increased visibility to the company as we build our unique platform providing liquidity to owners of alternative assets."

Russell US Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for passive funds and investment products and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell US Indexes. Russell US Indexes are part of FTSE Russell's suite of index offerings.
