These two firms might get kicked out of the STI as new liquidity rules roll in

Other firms are queueing to take their place.

Jardine Matheson and Olam International are most at risk of being kicked out of the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) as tighter liquidity rules for constituents kick in.

Maybank Kim Eng said that these two firms have respective index weights of 7.03% and 0.33%, and a horde of other companies are likely to take their place.

“In their places, we believe UOL, CCT, YZJ, Suntec REIT and SingPost could be considered for inclusion. Given Jardine Matheson’s much larger market cap of SGD42b, we think any rejig of the index may benefit larger constituents such as the banks and Singtel whose combined weighting is 43.1% currently,” said the report.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
