Aventus Group (AVN AU) received the ATO tax ruling on 18 February. This creates some uncertainty around the timing of the HomeCo Daily Needs REIT inclusion in the ASX200 Index.
Given the 'latest available shares in issue' are used, we think there is a better than even chance of the stock being included in the index at the March rebalance.
If HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (HDN AU) is not included in March, then it could replace Crown Resorts in May. Else, the stock will be added at the June rebalance.

When the Aventus Group (AVN AU) / HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (HDN AU) Scheme was announced four months ago, it looked to complete in late January or very early February. 
Because of an ATO staff shortage, the Second Court Hearing was delayed by nearly three weeks, pushing implementation back. The calculation of S&amp;P/ASX index rankings may not be as expected.
Most or all of the AVN downweight is covered by a HDN upweight next Wednesday but whither ASX200 in March?
