HSCEI Index Rebalance Preview: China Shenhua (1088) Could Replace Country Garden (2007); Div Impact
- China Shenhua Energy Co H (1088 HK) could replace Country Garden Holdings Co (2007 HK) in the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI INDEX) at the June rebalance.
- Short interest on China Shenhua Energy Co H (1088 HK) is pretty small while the short interest on Country Garden Holdings Co (2007 HK) is large and possibly getting bigger.
- The change could result in a big increase in the fair value for the HSCEI 2023 dividend futures. Currently, we estimate an increase of up to 9 DIPS.
