S&P Dow Jones Indices, today, announced its March 2019 quarterly rebalance of S&P/ASX Indices.
S&P Dow Jones Indices has made a slew of changes to the constituents of the various S&P/ASX indices under its management.
The affected stocks are seeing increased trading activity on the ASX. The changes announced will be effective at the open of 18 March 2019 as informed by the exchange.
The indices are designed to help investors gain insight into the performance of an asset class or a segment of that asset class. Indices are used by the market participants to benchmark portfolio performance. The constituents of the index are periodically reviewed, and changes are made to make sure the constituent securities meet the pre-determined criteria of the index that they represent.
It is to be noted that Exchange Traded Funds (ETFâs) allocate capital based on the index constitution and the security weightage in the index, hence addition/deletion of security to the index would result in increasing the trading activity in that security.
