SYNNEX Corporation Added to Russell 3000 Index and Russell 2000 Index

 

FREMONT, CA — July 7, 2004 -- SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a global IT supply chain services company, was added to the Russell 3000® Index and the Russell 2000® Index on June 25, 2004 when Russell Investment Group reconstituted its family of 21 indexes. Membership in the Russell 3000, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 or small-cap Russell 2000 as well as the appropriate growth and style indexes.

“We’re extremely pleased to be included in the Russell indexes and value the significance they can provide in increased visibility within the investment community,” said Robert Huang, President and Chief Executive Officer of SYNNEX Corporation.

Membership in Russell’s 21 U.S. equity indexes is determined 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 both passive and active investment strategies. More than $360 billion is invested in passive funds based on Russell’s indexes and an additional $1.4 trillion is benchmarked to them. Investment managers who oversee these funds purchase shares of member stocks according to that company’s weighting in the particular index.

Annual reconstitution of Russell indexes captures the 3,000 largest U.S. stocks as of the end of May, ranking them by total market capitalization to create the Russell 3000. The largest 1,000 companies in the ranking comprise the Russell 1000 while the remaining 2,000 companies become the widely used Russell 2000. These investment tools originated from Russell's multi-manager investment business in the early 1980s because the company needed a more objective, market-driven set of benchmarks in order to evaluate outside investment managers.
