NEW YORK, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TheStreet, Inc. TST, a leading financial news and information company, today announced that the Company has joined the Russell Microcap® Index as part of the Russell indexes' annual reconstitution, effective as of Monday, June 25, 2018.

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 U.S. Indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Russell U.S. Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors as the basis for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell U.S. Indexes. Russell U.S. Indexes are part of FTSE Russell.

"The inclusion of TheStreet into the Russell Microcap Index emphasizes the success of our recent turnaround efforts and we are honored to be part of it," said David Callaway, President and CEO of TheStreet. "As we continue to execute on our growth strategy and increase shareholder value, we believe our inclusion in this index will serve as a valuable tool to help broaden and educate our shareholder base."
