RENO, Nev., July 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Sands Regent (NASDAQ:SNDS)
today announced that the Company's stock has been added to the Russell
Microcap(TM) index.
The newly launched Russell Microcap index, which debuted on July 1, 2005, is
comprised of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000 Index
along with the next 1,000 smallest companies, based on a ranking of all U.S.
equities by market capitalization. Russell indices are widely used by
investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as
benchmarks for both active and passive investment strategies. According to
Russell Investment Group, which reconstitutes its family of U.S. indexes
yearly, more than $360 billion is invested in funds based on Russell indexes
and an additional $850 billion is benchmarked to them.
"We are very pleased to become a member of the Russell Microcap Index,"
commented Ferenc Szony, CEO of The Sands Regent. "As we continue executing our
growth strategy as a regional gaming and entertainment company, we believe that
inclusion on the Russell Microcap index will enhance our visibility and
recognition among investors and institutions that rely on the Russell indexes
to construct their portfolios."
