<li>That means we can make early predictions for the March 2023 rebalance to be announced in six months. One way turnover would be about 1.4%. </li>
<li>The top three adds are Oriental Land, Renesas, and JAL. The top 3 sells would be Toyobo, Toho Zinc, and Nippon Sheet Glass. There are some dark horses here too.</li>

Based on an admittedly somewhat finger-in-the-air estimate of probability of privatisation,  shorting Toshiba Corp (6502 JP) here against its Peer Basket is probably not a good outcome.

Swire Pacific (19 HK) has started buying back with 3.5x the average ADV impact on Bs vs As. That is likely to continue. 
KKR's all cash A$88/share Offer for Ramsay Health (RHC AU) is off. The alternative Offer has a lower implied value, and has been unceremoniously rejected, despite Ramsay's horrible FY22 numbers.
