HOLLYWOOD, FL--(Marketwired - Jun 27, 2014) - NV5 Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "NV5") (NASDAQ: NVEE), a provider of professional and technical engineering and consulting solutions, today announced it expects to be added to the Russell Microcap® Index as of the close of trading today based on a preliminary list of additions published by Russell on June 20, 2014.
Membership in the Russell Microcap Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.
"We are happy to become a part of the Russell Microcap Index, which is an important achievement for NV5, as it broadens our exposure to the investment community and reflects the added value we have brought to shareholders over the past year," said Dickerson Wright, Chairman and CEO of NV5. "In growing the Company, we've demonstrated our ability to maintain profitability, both organically and through our accretive acquisitions. As we progress through 2014, we expect continued growth of our revenue backlog, our acquisition pipeline, as well as the operational synergies across our five verticals."
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Russell calculates more than 700,000 benchmarks daily covering approximately 98 percent of the investable market globally, 80 countries and more than 10,000 securities. Approximately $5.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the Russell Indexes.
Annual reconstitution of Russell Indexes captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000® Index and Russell Microcap Index. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s when the company saw the need for a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.
