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.

<p>Recent engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) has confirmed that EML Payments’ Irish subsidiary will need to undertake further work to meet the CBI’s risk assessment requirements. This is likely to push the final third-party validation process into 2023. Interest rate rises in Europe should go some way to offset additional compliance costs. We maintain our forecasts pending FY22 results on 22 August.</p>
