Hang Seng Index (HSI) Rebalance: Does Anyone Know What the Index Committee Is Thinking?

By Brian Freitas

  • We continue to be led down the garden path – no constituent changes for the Hang Seng Index (HSI INDEX) in March means we remain at 83 members.
  • Despite having an opportunity to add stocks to the index without increasing turnover, the index committee have done nothing. Which begs the question – what exactly are they waiting for?
  • Float and capping changes result in an estimated one-way turnover of 3.8% and the resulting round-trip trade is HK$16.7bn (US$2.15bn).

Keppel DC REIT: An Interesting Play on AI Boom

By Jacob Cheng

  • We think Keppel DC REIT is an interesting play to look at for the AI revolution.  The markets are supported by strong fundamentals
  • With a strong balance sheet and low leverage, the Company has ample headroom to do more M&As to drive DPU growth
  • The stock has corrected post Deepseek incident.  We think valuation is attractive and presents an interesting opportunity.
