Great Southern President and CEO Joseph W. Turner commented, "Our inclusion in the Russell indexes reflects well on our Company's performance during this very difficult period in the financial services sector and the economy at large."
The Russell 3000(R) Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000(R) Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the small-cap Russell 2000(R) Index or the large-cap Russell 1000(R) Index. Russell determines membership for its equity 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 both passive and active investment strategies. An investment-leading $4 trillion in assets currently are benchmarked to theses indexes.
With total assets of $3.4 billion, Great Southern offers banking, investment, insurance and travel services.
