Index Rebalance

<ul>
<li>There are no index changes, in what comes as a surprise given the index is now 9 months late getting to 80 names, with a target to get to 100. </li>
<li>There are, however, several capping changes, leading to nearly 3 days to sell on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hsbc-holdings-plc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:516:1" rel="noopener">HSBC Holdings (5 HK)</a> and 2.6% one-way turnover.</li>
<li>The lack of name changes is disappointing. They don't need to find names to delete, just names to add to improve tracking and coverage. This portends further slowness to change.</li>
