Pan-Asia Index Rebalances/ Events/ Delta One

Periscope Analytics

Periscope Analytics focuses on event-driven trades across Asia Pacific and provides comprehensive, timely and systematic coverage of index changes to major Asia Pacific indices in a structured manner.

The analysis includes forecasted inclusions and exclusions to all major Asian indices that have significant amount of tracking assets, including estimates of passive buy/sell flow on the stocks. The service also provides commentary and impact of market consultations, ground rule changes, and other events (IPOs, spin-offs, M&A) that could lead to index changes and passive flow.

Periscope Analytics works with multi-strategy hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, stat arb trading groups and long-only investors that invest and trade in the Asia Pacific region with the data being used to trade index rebalances, avoid pre-positioning and passive flow, and to time entry into and exit from stocks.

In this insight, we explore the reasons behind the cancellation of the same, its financial implications on the firm and argue that the even after the cancellation, the long term catalysts continue to be in place.
We believe that <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/aarti-industries-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6583:1" rel="noopener">Aarti Industries (ARTO IN)</a> is still well placed to capture the structural tailwind as supply chains move from China to alternate locations like India. At the current price of INR 1067, Aarti trades at 25x FY22 EPS Estimates, which is higher than the 2-year average. Aarti is neither too cheap nor too expensive. However, considering the recent run-up in broader indices a more attractive entry point would be more rewarding.
