     Revamped STI and new FTSE ST Index Series launched

Continued from FrontPage of Article

Appendix 1


STRAITS TIMES INDEX (STI)

In line with FTSE’s international methodology, these companies have been included based on the following criteria:

1. Free Float. The free float of a listed company must be greater than 15%. The definition of “free float” includes portfolio investments, nominee holdings and holdings by investment companies.
2. Liquidity. A stock must trade with a median daily turnover value of at least 0.05% of the value of its free float-adjusted shares in issue for at least 10 out of the last 12 months.

FTSE ST INDEX SERIES

Similar to the revamped STI, the 18 indices in the FTSE ST Index Series – including the FTSE ST Mid Cap and Small Cap indices - are based on the above two criteria (i.e. free float and liquidity).

The FTSE ST Index Series includes 13 industrial and sub-sector indices. These are built in accordance with the rules that govern the globally renowned Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) system.

In addition, a China-theme index has been created to reflect the increasing significant representation of mainland China stocks in the Singapore market. The FTSE ST China Index, comprises top-ranking mainland China stocks on SGX, will facilitate cross-border analysis and comparison.

The constituents of the FTSE ST Mid Cap, Small Cap and China Index are listed in Appendix 4.

To qualify for inclusion in any index, except the FTSE ST Fledgling Index, the market capitalisation of a listed company must fall within the top 98% by full market capitalisation of all SGX Mainboard companies.

The FTSE ST Fledgling Index includes all the other qualifying companies comprising the last 2% by full market capitalisation. These stocks are not screened for stock liquidity.
