Index Rebalance & ETF Flow Recap: TW Div+, CSI500, ChiNext, SSE180, KS200, KQ150, FTSE CH50, AMFI
- MSCI announces the changes at the November SAIR pre-market open (Asia time) on 11 November. That day is also the market cap cutoff for the FTSE December QIR.
- There are some pretty big changes to the flows for the FTSE TWSE Taiwan Div+ Index following changes to forward dividend estimates and stock prices.
- Quiet week for ETF flows with large inflows to Huatai-PB CSI 300 ETF (510300 CH) and Tracker Fund of Hong Kong Ltd (2800 HK).
Last Week in Event SPACE: Toshiba, Perpetual/Pendal, News Corp/Fox Corp
- There is potentially a premium of about 20-25% being assessed for the possibility of a deal for Toshiba Corp (6502 JP), but there is also fundamental risk beyond this.
- Perpetual Ltd (PPT AU) rejects EQT/BPEA/Regal’s Offer, a proposal that is contingent on PPT ceasing its Scheme with Pendal Group (PDL AU)
- News Corp (NWS AU) is trading rich. The net EV/EBITDA for the stub ops trades closely matches to Fox (FOXA US). And Fox is preferable over NWS’ print media business.

- The data in this insight is collated from the “shareholding disclosure” link on the HKEx website
