BEN Joins the Russell 2000® Indexes
A significant, data-driven milestone that reflects our continued growth, market value, and momentum.

A New Level of Visibility
June 29, 2026
Effective June 29, 2026, BEN has officially been added to the Russell 3000® and Russell 2000® (US small-cap) indexes.
There is no application process or committee vote for this inclusion. FTSE Russell strictly ranks US-listed companies by total market capitalization and adds those that qualify. BEN made the cut because our market cap has grown to rank among the top 4,000 US-listed public companies. This is a direct, objective reflection of the progress we have made and the value we are building.
