First Foundation Inc. (NYSE: FFWM) has been dropped from several prominent Russell indices, including the Russell Microcap Growth Index, Russell 3000E Growth Index, Russell 2500 Growth Index, Russell 2000 Growth Index, Russell 3000 Growth Index, and Russell Small Cap Comp Growth Index. These changes are effective as of June 30, 2025.
Inclusion or exclusion from major indices like those managed by Russell can significantly influence institutional investment. Funds that track these indices are typically required to adjust their portfolios accordingly, which may lead to selling pressure on the stock. This development reflects a re-evaluation of the company's market characteristics by the index provider.
The removal from these growth and small-cap indices suggests a shift in how First Foundation is categorized within the broader market. This could impact the company's visibility and investor base, particularly among passive funds that rely on index membership for their investment strategies.
