The inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index follows the company's recent launch of an at-the-market (ATM) offering of up to $50 million to support strategic initiatives, including artificial intelligence (AI), digital assets, and potential acquisitions [1]. Additionally, Siebert has made a strategic investment in FusionIQ to enhance its digital wealth management capabilities for advisors and clients.

FTSE Russell, the global index provider, calculates thousands of indexes that measure and benchmark markets and asset classes in more than 70 countries, covering 98% of the investable market globally. The inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index is a testament to Siebert's growth and innovation.

Siebert Financial Corp. operates through its subsidiaries, offering a full range of brokerage and financial advisory services, including securities brokerage, investment advisory, insurance offerings, securities lending, and corporate stock plan administration solutions, in addition to entertainment and media productions.

The move into the Russell 2000 Index reflects Siebert's long-term strategy of leveraging technology and strategic partnerships to drive growth and innovation. As the company continues to evolve, investors can expect further developments in its digital wealth management capabilities and broader financial services offerings.
