The American Bankers Association added nine banks to its Nasdaq Community Bank Index (ABAQ) today. The index now includes 328 community banks with a combined market cap of $255 billion. The newest additions are:
- 1895 Bancorp of Wisconsin, Greenfield, Wis.

The index, launched in 2003, represents all Nasdaq-listed banks and savings associations except the 50 largest banks and those with international or credit card specializations. The ABAQ index is “the most broadly representative stock index for community banks and remains an important tool for giving banks more visibility with analysts and investors,” ABA said.
