Light & Wonder CDIs Replace United Malts in ASX200 – Be Careful Is All I Can Say
- Post-Close Friday it was announced that Light & Wonder (LNW AU) Chess Depositary Interests would replace United Malt Group Ltd (UMG AU) at the close on 17 October.
- This was announced before US markets opened. Light & Wonder (LNW US) shares popped 5.65%, closing 5.8% through the Aussie line.
- This is a possibly deceptive index add. I’d be quite careful.
