Alta Equipment Group Joins Russell 2000®, Russell 3000®, and Russell Microcap® Indexes

LIVONIA, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alta Equipment Group Inc. (NYSE: ALTG), a leading provider of premium industrial and construction equipment and related services, today announced that as part of the annual reconstitution of the Russell stock indexes, Alta has joined the Russell 2000® Index, the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, and the Russell Microcap® Index, effective after the US market opened yesterday, June 29.

"Being added to the Russell 2000®, the Russell 3000®, and Russell Microcap® Indexes is a significant milestone for our company," said Ryan Greenawalt, CEO of Alta Equipment Group. "We believe our inclusion will increase Alta’s exposure with a more diverse group of institutional investors and help to drive interest in the company within the broader investment community."

Annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of May 8, 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 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.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
