<li>The review period for the March rebalance ends 31 January. We expect the changes to be announced 23 February with the implementation taking place after the close on 8 March.</li>
<li>We expect the index committee to continue using a 6-month minimum listing history resulting in four changes to the index.</li>
<li>One way turnover is estimated at 3.3% resulting in a one-way trade of CNY 4,717m. The impact on the deletions will be much larger than that on the inclusions.</li>
