KULR Technology Group Set to Join Russell 3000® Index
HOUSTON, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) (the 'Company' or 'KULR'), a global leader in sustainable energy management, today announced it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, effective after the United States market opens on June 30, as part of the 2025 Russell indexes reconstitution.
The annual reconstitution of the Russell US indexes captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 30, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or small-cap Russell 2000® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes.
'KULR is honored to be included in both the Russell 3000® and Russell Microcap® Indexes,' said Michael Mo, CEO of KULR. 'This marks another important milestone in our growth trajectory and is expected to enhance both our visibility and liquidity among institutional investors.'
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
Fiona Bassett, CEO of FTSE Russell, an LSEG business, commented: 'The Russell indexes have continuously adapted to the evolving dynamic US economy, and it's crucial to fully recalibrate the suite of Russell US Indexes, ensuring the indexes maintain an accurate representation of the market. The transition to a semi-annual reconstitution frequency from 2026 will ensure our indexes continue to represent the market and maintain the purpose of the index as a portfolio benchmark.'

VTI Is a Great Choice for Most, but I Like EQAL ETF Even Better
The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF is the most popular fund in the entire market. Its weighted nature means that the largest companies have an enormous influence on its performance. An equal-weight ETF could be the better choice given the market's current top-heavy state. 10 stocks we like better than Invesco Exchange-Traded Fund Trust II - Invesco Russell 1000 Equal Weight ETF › The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI) is one of the largest investment funds in the entire world. Including its mutual fund variant, investors have $1.8 trillion of assets invested in this Vanguard index fund. In a nutshell, this fund is designed to provide exposure to the entire U.S. market, as the name implies. Its portfolio of about 3,500 companies includes large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks. Like most Vanguard products, it's a low-cost investment vehicle. The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF has an expense ratio of just 0.03%, which means that for every $10,000 in assets you hold in it, your annual investment fees are just $3. Those minuscule costs will have a beneficial impact on your investment's returns over time. However, I prefer to take a somewhat different approach to getting broad market exposure. As such, there's one specific ETF that I would recommend looking into as a substitute for the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF in your portfolio. The Invesco Russell 1000 Equal Weight ETF (NYSEMKT: EQAL) holds all 1,000 stocks in the Russell 1000 index, but in roughly equal proportions. Of course, market fluctuations over time will alter that somewhat, but once every quarter, the fund's managers rebalance it so that 0.1% of the fund's assets are invested in each of the 1,000 stocks in the portfolio. If you aren't familiar, the Russell 1000 is a large- and mid-cap index. The Russell 3000 is considered a total stock market index, while the Russell 2000 -- containing the bottom 2,000 stocks of the Russell 3000 -- is perhaps the best-known index of small-cap stocks. The Russell 1000 includes the largest 1,000 stocks in the Russell 3000. In short, it includes a broader range of companies than the S&P 500, but it doesn't offer small-cap exposure. What it does is allow you to invest in 1,000 companies without risking too much of your money on the performance of any single one. In other words, a megacap giant like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) or Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) will account for about the same piece of the ETF pie as a relatively much smaller company like Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) or Lumentum Holdings (NASDAQ: LITE). The Invesco Russell 1000 Equal Weight ETF has a 0.20% expense ratio, which is significantly more than the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF, but it is still on the lower end of the fee range for a more specialized ETF. To be perfectly clear, there's absolutely nothing wrong with investing in the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF if you're looking for a low-cost, set-it-and-forget-it investment vehicle that is likely to deliver strong performance over long periods of time. Having said that, my biggest problem with it is that it's a weighted index fund (meaning that larger companies make up a proportionally larger share of its holdings), and the stock market has become increasingly top-heavy in recent years. For example, even though there are 3,555 stocks in the Total Stock Market ETF, more than 6% of its assets are invested in Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) alone. In fact, the fund's top 42 stock holdings account for half of the invested assets. Think of it this way. This "Total Stock Market ETF" has just as much money invested in the 42 largest companies as it does in the remaining 3,513 combined. In a nutshell, I don't necessarily love that a passive index fund is so dependent on the performances of relatively few companies. The equal-weight ETF might not include the smallest companies in the market, but it provides broad exposure to the stock market without being too reliant for its returns on any single company.

How activist Barington Capital can collaborate with Victoria's Secret to improve shareholder value
Business: Victoria's Secret & Co. is a specialty retailer of women's apparel and beauty products marketed under the Victoria's Secret, Pink and Adore Me brand names. Victoria's Secret brand offers intimate apparel, casual sleepwear, swim, lounge and sport, as well as fragrances and body care. Pink is a lifestyle brand for young women providing variety of collections and heritage pieces, including intimate apparel, loungewear, activewear, accessories, beauty and more. Adore Me is a direct-to-consumer lingerie and apparel brand that is focused on serving women of all sizes and budgets. Stock Market Value: $1.5B ($18.83 per share) Ownership: > 1% Average Cost: n/a Activist Commentary: Barington was founded in 1992 by James A. Mitarotonda as a boutique, full-service investment bank to serve the needs of emerging growth and smaller capitalization companies. The success of the firm and its investments led to the wind-down of the investment bank and the launch of an activist hedge fund in 2000. In its history, Barington has taken material action at 38 other companies and has averaged a 38.18% return on these investments versus 14.74% for the Russell 2000 over the same period. Barington is advocating for Victoria's Secret to (i) replace at least a majority, if not all, of the board with directors who have proven experience in brand revitalization, operational execution, international expansion and shareholder value creation (six of the nine current directors have been on the board since its public listing); (ii) have the reconstituted board consider whether CEO Hillary Super has the experience and strategic clarity necessary to engineer a turnaround; (iii) dedicate additional focus to its core brand; (iv) accelerate growth in digital and international markets; and (v) streamline the operating model eliminating underperforming and distracting initiatives. Victoria's Secret & Co. ("VSCO") is a specialty retailer of lingerie, clothing and beauty products through its flagship Victoria's Secret brand, Pink and Adore Me. The company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in summer 2021 following a spin-off from L Brands (which is now Bath & Body Works). The company's nearly four-year stint in the public markets has been marked by difficulties. Trading at an all-time high of roughly $76 per share not long after its debut, shares have fallen more than 75% to around $18 per share. Investor BBRC International PTE Limited converted from a 13G to a 13D in February 2024 and built its position to nearly 13% as VSCO shares continued to tumble. Earlier this month, BBRC sent a letter to Victoria's Secret Chair Donna James in which it lambasted the board for its history of value destruction. BBRC's letter is short on support and detail and long on allegation, negativity and second guessing with the benefit of hindsight. The only suggestion the investor makes states the obvious: "constructing a confidence-inspiring Board and generating positive financial returns to drive value creation." Thankfully for Victoria's Secret and its shareholders, a more constructive and experienced activist showed up: Barington Capital. On June 16, Barington sent a letter to the board of VSCO notifying the company of its more than 1% position. Then in its very next paragraph, Barington uses words like "constructively," "collaboratively" and "helpful." The firm does not just claim to have industry experience, but cites its engagement with L Brands, the former parent company of VSCO, which led to an increase in the stock price by 221.5% during its tenure as an advisor to the board of directors. Like BBRC, Barington criticizes the company's dismal underperformance, trailing its peers by 47.4 percentage points since its IPO. But while BBRC was content with just being critical, Barington specifically identifies several reasons for the underperformance such as declining revenue, shrinking gross margins, growing inventory, high senior management turnover, a lack of marketing and merchandising focus and an apparent failure to articulate or execute a compelling brand vision. Had Barington just left it there, the firm would have been more helpful than BBRC. However, as a responsible and experienced shareholder activist, Barington takes it to the next integral step – suggestions on a path forward. Specifically, Barington recommended that Victoria's Secret: (i) replace at least a majority, if not all, of the board with directors who have proven experience in brand revitalization, operational execution, international expansion and shareholder value creation (six of the nine current directors have been on the board since its public listing); (ii) have the reconstituted board consider whether CEO Hillary Super has the experience and strategic clarity necessary to engineer a turnaround; (iii) dedicate additional focus to its core brand; (iv) accelerate growth in digital and international markets; and (v) streamline the operating model eliminating underperforming and distracting initiatives. Barington is no stranger to VSCO. In fact, the firm was a vocal proponent of the spin in a previous 2019 campaign at L Brands. At the time, Barington recommended that the company take swift action to improve the performance of VSCO by correcting merchandising mistakes and launching a strategic review to unlock value through a separation of VSCO from Bath & Body Works. The two parties eventually entered into an agreement pursuant to which L Brands appointed Barington as a special advisor to the company, and Barington agreed to withdraw its proposed nominees to the board. Ultimately, VSCO was spun and Barington generated a return of over 221.5% during its tenure as an advisor to the board. Barington may not be a household name in the investor world like many activists, but it has as much experience as any activist today. The firm's activism dates back to 2000, and much of it was focused on the retail sector, targeting companies like Hanesbrands, Chico's FAS and Dillard's. Of its 46 campaigns, 19 have been at consumer discretionary companies, at which the firm has had an average return of 13.86% versus 8.56% for the Russell 2000 over the same period. Barington does not like spending what it takes to win a proxy fight, preferring to gain representation through settlements. Its recent proxy fight and loss at Matthews International was evidence of this, but also showed that Barington is still willing to take a proxy fight to the distance. Barington is not likely to go through that again so soon, but given its experience in this industry and at Victoria's Secret (two of the current directors, including Chair Donna James, were directors when Barington successfully collaboratively engaged in 2019), we would expect that the firm would have a good opportunity to work constructively and amicably with the board to create shareholder value.
