No changes to STI constituents: FTSE Russell

The index was reviewed in December.

Following its December quarterly review, FTSE Russell announced that there will be no changes to the constituents of the Straits Times Index (STI).

If and when there are constituents that become ineligible as a result of corporate actions before the review in March 2023, stocks on the reserve list will replace them.

The top five highest-ranking non-constituents of the STI by market capitalisation on the reserve list are Olam Group, Sembcorp Marine, Suntec REIT, Golden Agri-Resources, and Frasers Centrepoint Trust.

FTSE Russell, STI’s administrator, said indexes undergo a quarterly review in accordance with the index ground rules and to facilitate the inclusion of eligible IPO stocks. 

The administrator said its review also ensures that the index “accurately represents the investable universe for benchmarking purposes and can be easily replicated as the basis of index-linked products.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
