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.

What is the Russell Index ?
Twice a year, FTSE Russell—a global index provider and part of LSEG—ranks the largest US-listed public companies by total market capitalization and reconstitutes its family of Russell US indexes. Companies that meet the rigorous size thresholds are added, capturing up to the 4,000 largest US-listed stocks.
