Babylon (NYSE:BBLN) is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000^® Index at the conclusion of the 2022 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the US market opens on June 27, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 3.

Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of May 6, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the US all-cap Russell 3000^® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000^® Index or small-cap Russell 2000^® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

"We are delighted to have been selected to join the Russell 3000^® Index within a year of our listing on the NYSE, showing that you can do good and do well,” said Ali Parsa, CEO and Founder of Babylon. “Being added to this prestigious group represents another significant milestone for Babylon as we continue on our journey to put accessible and affordable healthcare into the hands of every person on Earth."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $12 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
