TOPIX October 2022 Rebal – Buy/Sell Baskets (May the Flow Be Ever In Your Favour)

By Travis Lundy

  • As a follow-on to TOPIX October 2022 Rebal – BIG Names with BIG Flows which discussed ¥2.1trln a side flows overall, this insight analyses and proposes intra-sector baskets.
  • In general, the sector-neutral BUYs vs SELLs baskets of all names where Index Shares change by 10% or more have seen BUYs sharply outperform SELLs in the past three weeks.
  • Look for pre-positioning unwinds so trading BUY vs SELL baskets which have bucked the trend, banks and chemicals – might be worthwhile. Otherwise, pick your spots. Use the flow.

MSCI India November SAIR: Potential Changes with Big Flow & Impact

By Brian Freitas

  • We see 9 potential adds and 2 potential deletes for the MSCI India Index at the November SAIR. There are a few stocks close to the cutoffs.
  • Inclusion in the index will require passive trackers to buy 7-14 days of ADV on the stocks. That increases to 18-55 days of delivery volume.
  • There appears to be significant pre-positioning on a lot of the potential adds and the shareholding pattern as of end September should provide a better picture.

SENSEX Index Rebalance Preview: Market Consultation on Derivative Linkage & Impact

By Brian Freitas

  • AIPL has commenced a market consultation on amending the index universe to only include stocks that are a part of the Futures & Options (F&O) segment of the market.
  • This is likely driven by a bunch of Adani-group companies that are at the cusp of index inclusion and are not a part of the F&O market.
  • Post implementation of the change, Tata Motors Ltd (TTMT IN) is a likely inclusion to the index in December, though that depends on Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRRD IN) being deleted.
