"Being added to the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000 Indexes creates an opportunity to increase our overall visibility among key institutional investors," said Kim Blickenstaff, president and CEO of Tandem.

Membership in the Russell 2000® Index includes automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and style indexes.

Russell indices are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies.

More than $3.9 trillion in assets are currently benchmarked to the Russell family of indexes.
