FTSE Group (“FTSE”), the award-winning global index provider, and Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) have confirmed there will be no changes to the constituents of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI, following the semi-annual review of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series today.
The index series is reviewed semi-annually by the independent FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Advisory Committee. The committee is made up of leading market professionals who ensure that the index review fully complies with a set of highly transparent and publicly available index rules.
As part of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI is widely used by investors as the primary benchmark for the Malaysian market, and forms the basis of a wide range of investment products, including the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI ETF, FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Futures (FKLI), FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Options (OKLI) and other index-linked financial products.
The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI reserve list, comprising the five highest ranking non-constituents of the index by market capitalisation, will be SapuraKencana Petroleum, SP Setia, IJM Corporation, Genting Plantations and Gamuda.
