FG Financial Group, Inc. Set to Join Russell Microcap Index

FG Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FGF, FGFPP), is set to join the Russell Microcap Index at the conclusion of the 2021 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market opens on June 28, 2021, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 4, 2021.

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.

Larry Swets, CEO of FG Financial Group, Inc., commented, “We are pleased to be added to the Russell Microcap Index, a testament to FG Financial’s success executing on our strategy to grow long-term intrinsic value by allocating capital to asymmetrical risk/reward opportunities in both our reinsurance and SPAC businesses. Inclusion in the Russell Microcap Index is a next step in heightening investor awareness and building shareholder value.”

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s U.S. indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
