No changes to STI constituents: FTSE Russell

The index was reviewed in December.

Following its December quarterly review, FTSE Russell announced that there will be no changes to the constituents of the Straits Times Index (STI).

If and when there are constituents that become ineligible as a result of corporate actions before the review in March 2023, stocks on the reserve list will replace them.

The top five highest-ranking non-constituents of the STI by market capitalisation on the reserve list are Olam Group, Sembcorp Marine, Suntec REIT, Golden Agri-Resources, and Frasers Centrepoint Trust.

FTSE Russell, STI’s administrator, said indexes undergo a quarterly review in accordance with the index ground rules and to facilitate the inclusion of eligible IPO stocks. 

The administrator said its review also ensures that the index “accurately represents the investable universe for benchmarking purposes and can be easily replicated as the basis of index-linked products.”

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.
