4 terms
russell 2000® index financial
"the Company joined the Russell 2000® Index and the Russell 3000® Index effective after"
A stock market index that tracks the performance of roughly 2,000 publicly traded U.S. companies with smaller market values, representing the broader small-cap segment of the market. It matters to investors because it acts like a thermometer for smaller companies—used as a benchmark to compare fund performance, guide portfolio allocation, and gauge economic or market trends affecting growth-oriented, higher-risk firms.
russell 3000® index financial
"the Company joined the Russell 2000® Index and the Russell 3000® Index effective after"
A broad stock market index that tracks the performance of about 3,000 publicly traded U.S. companies of all sizes, acting as a wide-ranging snapshot of the U.S. equity market. It matters to investors because it serves as a common yardstick for the overall market’s health and is the basis for many index funds and investment strategies—think of it as a single basket that shows how the whole U.S. stock market is doing.
index funds financial
"Both are widely used by institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks"
A fund that pools investors’ money to buy the same collection of stocks or bonds that make up a market index — like a ready-made basket representing the whole market or a specific slice of it. It matters because it gives broad exposure with lower fees and simpler management than picking individual securities, reducing the impact of any single holding and making it efficient for long-term investing.
nmibc medical
"The robust 12-month data for NDV-01 in NMIBC and a well-capitalized balance"
A common form of bladder cancer that stays confined to the bladder’s inner lining or the layer just below it and has not grown into the deeper muscle wall. It matters to investors because it often requires repeated procedures, ongoing surveillance and long-term treatments, creating a sizable and stable market for diagnostics, drugs and medical devices; think of it like a surface-level problem that needs frequent check-ups and follow-up care rather than a one-time fix.

CORAL GABLES, Fla., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Relmada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLMD, “Relmada” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing innovative therapies for oncology and central nervous system disorders, today announced that the Company joined the Russell 2000® Index and the Russell 3000® Index effective after the U.S. market closed on June 26, 2026, as part of the Russell Indexes reconstitution.

The Russell 3000® is a leading benchmark for broad U.S. equity market performance. It tracks the 3,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies and represents roughly 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Russell 2000® has become the standard by which U.S. small-cap performance is measured, covering 2,000 companies in that universe. Membership in both Indexes is reconstituted semi-annually, with placement in the relevant growth and value style indexes. Both are widely used by institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active strategies.

“Being added to the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® is a meaningful accomplishment that reflects Relmada's ongoing progress. The robust 12-month data for NDV-01 in NMIBC and a well-capitalized balance sheet put us in a position of real strength, and we are genuinely excited about where we stand," said Sergio Traversa, Chief Executive Officer of Relmada Therapeutics.

Details on the Russell 2000® Index and Russell 3000® Index reconstitution are available on the FTSE Russell website under "Russell Reconstitution.”
