<li>In this insight, we present our expectations for ASX 200, 100, 50, and 20 for the December 2026 index rebal event.</li>
<li>We expect one change for ASX 100 and six changes for ASX 200. We do not see any changes for ASX 20 and ASX 50.</li>
<li>There could also be intra-review index changes over the next few months. By our current measure, those will be quite big in dollar terms and ADV impact.</li>
