Freedom Holding Corp. Included in Prestigious Russell 3000 Index

May 29, 2025 – Almaty

Freedom Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FRHC) today announced that its shares have been selected for inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index as part of the annual reconstitution. The inclusion will take effect after the U.S. market closes on June 27, 2025.

The Russell 3000 Index tracks the performance of the 3,019 largest U.S. public companies, representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. Being added to this index is a significant milestone, reflecting the company’s financial health, stability, and growth. It may also boost investor awareness and trading activity, given the widespread use of the index as a benchmark by global investment funds. Among the most notable of these are the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) and Vanguard Russell 3000 ETF (VTHR), which collectively manage over $18 billion in assets.

Inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index also entails membership in either the Russell 1000 Index (large-cap) or the Russell 2000 Index (small-cap), along with their respective growth and value sub-indexes. At this stage, there is no official confirmation regarding which group Freedom Holding Corp. will be classified under; such classifications are published later in the reconstitution process, which includes periodic updates. Investors can track these updates, scheduled for May 30, June 6, 13, and 20.

Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holding Corp., commented:
“Inclusion in the prestigious Russell 3000 Index marks a significant milestone for Freedom Holding Corp., affirming our sustained growth and strengthening presence in global financial markets. This recognition reflects the dedication and commitment of our entire team and our unwavering focus on delivering value to shareholders. We believe this development will enhance our visibility among institutional investors, broaden our shareholder base, and solidify our position as a key player in the financial industry”.
