Russell Index Reconstitution Effective After the US Market Opens on June 30, 2025
Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SPAI) ("Safe Pro" or the "Company"), a leading provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven security solutions, is set to join the Russell Microcap® Index at the conclusion of the 2025 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the US market opens on June 30, 2025, according to a preliminary list of additions posted on May 23, 2025.
The annual Russell US Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of Wednesday, April 30, 2025, ranking them by total market capitalization. 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.
"Joining the Russell Microcap® Index marks another milestone for Safe Pro Group, reflecting the progress we have made in advancing our mission to deliver AI-powered security solutions for defense and humanitarian missions around the world. Our unique combination of technologies can help save lives and support the restoration of critical infrastructure and valuable agricultural land contaminated by explosive threats as a result of war," said Dan Erdberg, Chairman and CEO of Safe Pro Group Inc. "We look forward to our inclusion in the Russell Microcap® index which can bring greater investor awareness to Safe Pro at this pivotal time as we continue to scale our technology, expand our market reach, and drive innovation and long-term value for all our stakeholders."
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
