Why has Bursa Malaysia decided to shrink the constituents of KLCI from 100 stocks to FTSE BM KLCIs number of constituents, 30 stocks?
The proposal to move the KLCI composition from 100 to 30 stocks is based on the discussions that we’ve had with the industry players. From the feedback we have gathered, a market barometer of 30 constituents is a better representative of the underlying market while being a more manageable basket when products are created of the back of the index.
