RF Industries, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RFIL) announced that it has joined the Russell Microcap® Index according to the list posted July 1, 2013.

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 very pleased to have been selected for inclusion on the Russell Microcap® Index. During the past year we have achieved significant revenue growth and increased profitability as we’ve successfully implemented our long term strategy to grow our position as a leading provider of full service, custom interconnect solutions to the wireless infrastructure industry. We believe our addition to the Russell Microcap® Index is recognition of our efforts to date and validation of our capabilities,” commented Howard Hill, Chief Executive Officer of RF Industries.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and 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 $4.1 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. 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.
