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.
