Sanergy (2459 HK), a graphite electrode manufacturer, was added to the MSCI Small-Cap Index on 30th August; and was due to enter the Hang Seng Composite Index on 9th September.
However, the SFC announced a concentration warning on the 2nd September. Shares promptly cratered ~98% yesterday (the 3rd September). Expect the HSCI inclusion to now be yanked.
This Sanergy debacle should refocus investors on other heavily concentrated stocks, such as Jinhai Medical (2225 HK), in which GoFintech (290 HK) (another heavily concentrated stock) has inexplicably been buying.

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.
