Sembcorp Marine Takeover of Keppel O&M – Almost There
- Last Wednesday, Keppel Corp (KEP SP) announced 8 Dec as the EGM date for shareholders to approve the AssetCo Transfer, the Keppel O&M/SMM combo, and the distribution of SMM shares.
- This should probably sail through. Investors who want to submit questions in advance can email [email protected] by 3pm 30 Nov.
- I still like Keppel. I think investors will find it attractive post-spin.
SSE180/SSE380 Index Rebalance: Changes & Potential MSCI/FTSE Inclusions & Exclusions
- There are 18 changes to the SSE180 Index and 38 changes to the SSE380 Index that will be implemented at the close of trading on 9 December.
- There will be 10 deletions from the MSCI Standard Index and 26 deletions from the FTSE All-World/All-Cap indices at the close on 9 December.
- Currently, 8 stocks meet the threshold/are close for inclusion in the MSCI China Index while there are 21 stocks that meet the threshold for inclusion in the FTSE All-World/All-Cap indices.
KOSPI 200 Sector/Size & KRX 300 Sector: Constituent Changes & Trading Points
- The additional Lotte Confectionery/Samyang Holdings flow will come from K200/KRX 300 Consumer Staples, K200 MidSmallCap, and K200 Ex-Top. However, the actual flow impact wouldn’t be significant.
- From a flow trading standpoint, the KOSPI 50’s HMM/Hanon System probably deserves our attention because additional inflows come from the pensions that account for more than half of local PASSIVE.
- Since their rebalancing trading tends to be somewhat dispersed, the return rate was the best when the position holding period was from T-3 to the effective date.
