The main question, for yet another rebalance, is whether the index committee chooses a 6 month minimum listing history or increases it to 12 months in line with the methodology.
That decision will result in either 4 or 5 changes at the rebalance. The deletions remain the same, while there is only 1 inclusion common across both lists.
There is a fair bit to trade on the potential inclusions and exclusions and we expect the inclusions to outperform the deletions over the next couple of months.
