Freedom Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FRHC), a diversified, multinational financial services company, has announced its inclusion in the — a development that formally places it among the top of publicly traded U.S. companies. Freedom Holding this is U.S.-based company, headquartered in Kazakhstan, has now taken a definitive place among the titans of American finance.
Inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index means recognition from the global financial community and the potential for increased investment interest, as hundreds of index and ETF funds — such as the iShares Russell 3000 ETF (IWV) and the Vanguard Russell 3000 ETF (VTHR) — manage over $18 billion in assets and follow the index’s structure.
“Inclusion in the prestigious Russell 3000® Index is an important milestone for Freedom Holding Corp. It recognizes our company’s steady growth and growing role in global financial markets,” commented Freedom Holding Corp.’s CEO and founder, Timur Turlov. “We are convinced that this move will broaden our investment base, increase our visibility among institutional investors, and strengthen our status as a notable player in the financial sector.”
It has not yet been confirmed which of the derivative indices (Russell 1000® or Russell 2000®) Freedom Holding will be included in, but preliminary updates on the structure will be published by the index provider during June.
Freedom Holding’s story is a unique one. The company began life as a local broker in Kazakhstan and now serves clients in 22 countries. It combines banking, insurance, brokerage, and fintech services within a digital ecosystem. Its financial indicators confirm its dynamic growth: revenue for the 2025 financial year amounted to $2.05 billion — a 23% increase compared to the same period last year.
Freedom Holding Corp. is particularly focused on developing its proprietary digital platform, the Freedom SuperApp — a mobile solution integrating investments, banking, insurance, payments, and e-commerce. Recently, Freedom expanded beyond the traditional financial sector by launching the Freedom Telecom and Freedom Media projects, entering the telecommunications and digital media sectors.
Rather than offering just a set of individual products, Freedom Holding is developing a comprehensive ecosystem that encompasses all aspects of a client’s life, from savings and investment management to everyday shopping. This approach distinguishes Freedom Holding from many competitors, particularly in light of the increasing demand for integrated digital solutions in Europe, Central Asia, and the United States.
Currently, Freedom Holding provides investors in emerging markets with access to the U.S. stock market, shaping a new model of global growth — not from New York or London, but from Almaty, Limassol, and Warsaw.
Inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index will give Freedom Holding access to a broader investor audience and increased liquidity, as well as likely increased analyst coverage from international financial institutions. However, more importantly, Freedom has proven that a company with a focus on Central Asia can become a global player through strategic discipline, digital transformation, and a customer-focused approach.
