KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) and KLCCP Stapled Group, which comprises KLCC Property Holdings Bhd and KLCC Real Estate Investment Trust, have been removed as constituents of the FBM KLCI in the semi-annual review of the index.

AMMB Holdings Bhd and Top Glove Corp Bhd will be replacing the two counters on the benchmark index of 30 stocks, said Bursa Malaysia in a statement yesterday.

This confirms a report by The Edge Financial Daily on Nov 26 that TM was likely to drop out of the list of KLCI component stocks while Top Glove could be a new addition.

“The (stocks on the) FBM KLCI reserve list are Westports Holdings Bhd, YTL Corp Bhd, Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd, QL Resources Bhd and Lotte Chemical Titan Holdings Bhd,” Bursa said.

All constituent changes take effect at the start of business on Dec 24 and the next review of the index by FTSE and Bursa Malaysia will take place in June 2019,” it added.

The KLCI is widely used by investors as the primary benchmark for the Malaysian market. It is also tracked by a number of index-linked financial products such as exchange-traded funds, the stock exchange noted.

Separately, the FBM Mid 70 Index saw seven new additions. These were TM, UMW Holdings Bhd, Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd, AEON (M) Bhd, Boustead Plantations Bhd, Hibiscus Petroleum Bhd and Matrix Concepts Holdings Bhd.

For the FBM Hijrah Shariah Index, new additions are Petronas Dagangan Bhd, UMW and Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd. Top Glove, IOI Properties Group Bhd and Sapura Energy Bhd will be deleted from list.
