FTSE TWSE Taiwan Dividend+ Index Rebalance: On Expected Lines; But the Flow Is Massive
- There are 26 inclusions and 5 deletions for the index resulting in a one-way turnover of 46.3% and a one-way trade of TWD 79.52bn (US$2.6bn). That is HUGE!
- There at 14 stocks that have over 5 days of ADV to buy from passive funds while there are 20 stocks with more that 5 days of ADV to sell.
- Over the last 2 weeks and 4 weeks, short interest has decreased on most of the adds while increasing on all the deletes and most of the stocks with outflows.
FTSE EPRA Nareit Index Rebalance: Now One Add for Korea
- SK REITs (395400 KS) will now be added to the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Real Estate Index Series after market close on 16 December.
- Based on the passive assets estimated to track the FTSE EPRA Nareit Index, there could be around 3.11m shares (US$11.3m; 19.2x ADV) to buy on SK REITs (395400 KS).
- SK REITs (395400 KS) trades expensive as compared to ESR Kendall Square REIT (365550 KS) and we’d use an index inclusion driven rally to pare positions in the stock.
Taiwan Div+ Index Dec22 Rebal Trade – +7.1% Now; Amend and HODL
- This trade is based on historical patterns described in the FTSE TWSE Taiwan Dividend+ Index: A Rare Gem for Index Rebal Trades AND additional considerations.
- Those additional considerations were discussed in Taiwan Dividend+ Index Rebal Trades – Offsets Other Index Risk and subsequent insights. So far, the trade is +7.1% since 26 October.
- The announcement of FTSE TWSE Dividend+ names described in FTSE TWSE Dividend+ Dec 22: Confirmed Index Changes and Revised Capping Flow Expectations changes the basket slightly for the home stretch.
Monadelphous (MND AU) Is The S&P ASX 200 ADD – There’s a Trade Here
- Monadelphous (MND AU) will be added to the S&P ASX 200 Index on 16 December 2022.
- This is not a surprise. It has been the lead contender for a December ADD slot since the day after the September rebalance was completed (see here).
- There is a fair bit of volume to buy, and there are pair trades to do.
