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.

Infratil Ltd (IFT NZ) is acquiring Brookfield Asset Management Lt (BAM US)'s 49.95% stake in One NZ for NZ$1.8bn. This will be partly funded through a NZ$850m placement.
There will be a NZ$750m underwritten placement at NZ$9.2/share (an 8.9% discount to the last close) and a retail offering of NZ$100m.
There will be passive buying from index trackers post the completion of the placement and the settlement of the shares and that will remove some of the overhang.


Infratil (IFT NZ): NZ$850m Placement & Index Implications

<ul>
<li>Middle East and Africa leading payments processing firm Network International is in play. On 21 April, Brookfield submitted a 400p competing proposal, vs. CVC/Francisco's earlier 387p. Network was trading cheaply.</li>
<li>Exposure to underserved MEA markets should support sustainable longer-term growth. My fair value estimate is 431p. The shares trade 0.75% below Brookfield's proposal, the market awaits a counteroffer from CVC/Francisco.</li>
<li>The fact that Brookfield has raised just 3.4% above CVC/Francisco seems to signal that Brookfield will be cautious in case of an "auction". Long.
