ETFs were subsequently launched on the 5 indices and the BBIG ETF and the Secondary Battery ETF have gathered a significant amount of assets since then.At the September rebalance we expect the following changes:<ul>
<li>Secondary Battery ETF: <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/sk-ie-technology" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29207:1" rel="noopener">SK IE Technology (361610 KS)</a> replaces <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/chunbo-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27848:1" rel="noopener">Chunbo Co Ltd (278280 KS)</a>

Insights across South East Asia

Equity Bottom-Up

Many investors worried about a few things on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/my-eg-services-bhd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19765:1" rel="noopener">My E.G. Services (MYEG MK)</a> including ties with the previous administration that will potentially cause loss of concession (corporate governance), and whether earnings stability is sustainable. 
The company's valuation is still undervalued compared to its peers when the management has taken a dynamic and active approach to launch new initiatives such as online groceries and health screening services for COVID-19. 
Investors should book some profit on the recent share price strengthening but I will suggest selling a part or 50% of the current position as the company and management offers an excellent long-term prospect across the market cycle and when the hype is done and stock will weaken a little, take that opportunity for a better entry point. 
This insight is labeled as bearish to reflect the action that investors should take given the share price increase. The insight provider is still bullish on the long-term's company's prospect.
