AngloGold Ashanti to Join Russell 3000 and Other Russell Equity Indexes on 27 June 2025

 

AngloGold Ashanti plc ("AngloGold Ashanti" or the "Company") has been named for the first time as a preliminary addition to the Russell 1000® or Russell 2000®, the Russell 3000®, and the Russell   Midcap ® Indexes , as part of the latest FTSE Russell 2025 U.S. Indexes reconstitution.

 

Final index membership will become effective after the U.S. market closes on Friday, 27 June 2025, with rebalanced index constituents reflected in trading beginning Monday, 30 June 2025.

 

  "This is an important milestone for AngloGold Ashanti," said Alberto Calderon, Chief Executive Officer of AngloGold Ashanti. " Our inclusion in this important family of US equity market indexes will help further increase liquidity and unlock long-term value for our shareholders."  

 

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. Indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider. The reconstitution of the Russell U.S. Indexes ranks the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks by market capitalisation to reflect changes in the investable equity market. This year's rebalance is expected to drive more than $53 billion in passive flows, and marks one of the highest-volume trading days of the year.

 

AngloGold Ashanti's anticipated inclusion in these benchmark equity indexes on 27 June 2025 follows the move of the Company's primary listing to the NYSE in September 2023.
