Press Release
Standard & Poor’s Announces June Quarterly Rebalance to the S&P/ASX Indices
Sydney, June 6, 2008 — Standard & Poor’s Index Services, the leading provider of equity indices in Australia, today announced that the following constituent additions and deletions will take place in the S&P/ASX indices from the close of trade June 20, 2008.
The S&P/ASX 200 and the S&P/ASX All Australian 200 index hierarchy is the only index suite that is considered for additions and deletions as part of the June quarterly rebalance. As a result, index removals are limited to the pyramid structure of the S&P/ASX 200 and the S&P/ASX All Australian 200.
There were few securities eligible for inclusion into the S&P/ASX 200 portfolio this quarter. In spite of several stocks meeting the necessary size requirements, the essential liquidity hurdles were not met. “We are seeing strong liquidity limited to stocks at the top-end of the market, with small-cap securities trading thin on a relative basis,” said Simon Karaban, associate director at Standard & Poor’s Index Services. “The S&P/ASX 200 is a tradable instrument, therefore it is paramount that liquidity is firmly controlled, therefore restricting the number of stocks that can be promoted.”
