Pan-Asia Index Rebalances/ Events/ Delta One

Periscope Analytics

Periscope Analytics focuses on event-driven trades across Asia Pacific and provides comprehensive, timely and systematic coverage of index changes to major Asia Pacific indices in a structured manner.

The analysis includes forecasted inclusions and exclusions to all major Asian indices that have significant amount of tracking assets, including estimates of passive buy/sell flow on the stocks. The service also provides commentary and impact of market consultations, ground rule changes, and other events (IPOs, spin-offs, M&A) that could lead to index changes and passive flow.

Periscope Analytics works with multi-strategy hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, stat arb trading groups and long-only investors that invest and trade in the Asia Pacific region with the data being used to trade index rebalances, avoid pre-positioning and passive flow, and to time entry into and exit from stocks.

It's not clear why it would be better for Frasers Hospitality (FHT SP)'s assets to be unlisted rather than listed, so this is purely financial not strategic given the ownership. 

Atlas Arteria (ALX AU) boasts low risk, stable yielding, toll road assets.  That's an attractive proposition for cash-up IFM, which now has a 15% economic interest. 
If DTAC TB / TRUE TB's merger goes through, the top two players control ~96% of the market. Even the generally complicit Thai regulator might be reluctant to grant approval.
