HSCEI Sep24 Rebal – Two ADDs, Two DELETEs, Two Surprises, Middling Flows
- The HSCEI is famous but has less AUM tracking it passively than you’d think. Nevertheless it is well-known and well-watched.
- J&T Global Express (1519 HK) and New Oriental Education & Techn (9901 HK) were ADDs. JD Logistics (2618 HK) and SenseTime Group (20 HK) are DELETEs.
- PICC Property & Casualty H (2328 HK) was NOT included. This was a surprise. We may see some disappointment this week from pre-positioning getting sold.
