S&P/ASX Index Rebalance Preview: Potential Changes from Now to June
- With three-quarters of the review period complete, there could be a bunch of changes across the S&P/ASX family of indices in June.
- The Red 5 Ltd (RED AU) / Silver Lake Resources (SLR AU) merger could lead to an ad hoc change prior to the implementation of the June rebalance.
- There will be 1.6-25 days of ADV to buy from passives in the inclusions while the impact on the deletions will range between 0.8-11 days of ADV.
Introduction: Initiation of Coverage in the Materials Sector
- Investics Research will initiate coverage of the materials sector in April 2024, starting with iron ore and then gold, coal, and steel in subsequent months (in that order).
- The areas of coverage on asset classes will encompass the underlying commodity and the associated equities.
- Areas of differentiation would include in-depth coverage of all equities (small/mid and large cap) and actionable tactical ideas on the commodity.
