Lyxor to delist MSCI India UCITS ETF

It will be merged with a sub-fund of a SICAV investment firm in France.

Lyxor International Asset Management will delist its Lyxor MSCI India UCITS ETF, a common investment fund, on 2 May, and merge it with the MUF ETF, a sub-fund of a SICAV investment firm in France. The ETF tracks the MSCI India net total return index.

Approval of the merger was sought from the home regulator of the ETFs, the Autorité des Marché Financiers of France (AMF) on 29 March 2019, whilst SGX granted its approval-in-principle of the proposed delisting on 2 April.

Class C-USD of the ETF (which is currently listed on the SGX-ST) will be merged into Class Acc (USD) of the MUF ETF on 9 May 2019. Units of the ETF will be converted into shares of the MUF ETF in a 1:1 conversion rate.

Trading of the MUF ETF on SGX-ST is expected to begin from 15 May 2019.

“To improve economic efficiency and provide investors with an investment vehicle that is recognised internationally, it has been decided, at the request of the mManager, to merge the ETF into the MUF ETF,” Lyxor said.

“[T]he designated market maker will stand ready to quote bid and ask prices prior to the suspension of the listing and quotation of the ETF to ensure that unitholders are able to liquidate their position in the ETF before the close of the Last Trading Day,” Lyxor added.

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.
