INTRUSION, Inc. (Nasdaq:INTZ) today announced that it is scheduled to join the Russell Microcap® Index, effective after the U.S. market closes on June 25, 2021, according to a preliminary list of additions published by FTSE Russell on June 4, 2021.

Membership in the Russell Microcap Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

“We believe that INTRUSION’s addition to this index has the potential to enhance awareness of our stock with a broader set of institutional investors and to potentially improve the liquidity of our stock,” said Jack Blount, President and CEO of INTRUSION.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
