CLSA Selects FTSE Group To Take Over China Indices

FTSE Group and CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, Asia’s number one ranked equity brokerage house, have today signed an agreement to work on a redesign of the CLSA China World Index and the CLSA Greater China Index.

CLSA wishes to cease the ongoing calculation of these indices, in order to focus on its core role of market analysis, whilst ensuring that a high level of index support and service continues to be available to its clients. It has selected FTSE to take over this important service.

Commencing immediately, FTSE will begin a review of both indices. It will work with CLSA to undertake a consultation programme with CLSA clients to ascertain the specific requirements of these index users. With this information, FTSE will then be able to offer enhanced China indices, either as part of the FTSE Xinhua series or the FTSE Global Equity Index Series, to provide the best possible solution to suit the needs of these market users.
