SEATTLE and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, June 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eliem Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELYM), announced today that the Company will be included in the Russell 2000® Index and the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, as part of the annual reconstitution of the Russell stock indexes, effective today.

“We are pleased to have earned inclusion in the Russell indexes, among the most widely used benchmarks for small-cap stocks," said Dr. Aoife Brennan, CEO of Eliem Therapeutics. “This is an important milestone for Eliem as we continue to build momentum and develop our world-class science and innovation aimed at harnessing the extraordinary potential of TNT119, a potent, CD19-targeted antibody with enhanced effector function, that we believe has the potential across a broad range of autoimmune diseases.”

Membership in the Russell 3000® Index means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index as well as in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. The Russell 3000 also serves as the U.S. component to the Russell Global Index. The Russell 3000® Index encompasses the 3,000 largest U.S.-traded stocks by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes. Membership in these indexes is updated annually and remains in place for one year.

The Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. As of May 2024, approximately US$9.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s U.S. indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
