Part of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI is widely used by investors as the primary benchmark for the Malaysian market, including derivatives through FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Futures (FKLI), FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Options (OKLI).

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI reserve list, comprising the five highest ranking non-constituents of the index by market capitalisation, will be Malaysia Airports, Gamuda, AirAsia, YTL Power International and Sapura Energy. The reserve list will be used in the event that one or more constituents are deleted from the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI in accordance with the index ground rules during the period up to the next semi-annual review.
As a result of this review, SP Setia, CapitaLand Malaysia Mall Trust, Serba Dinamik Holdings, Eco World International, Malaysian Pacific Industries and Petron Malaysia Refining & Marketing have been added to the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Mid 70 Index and IOI Properties Group and SP Setia have been added to the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Hijrah Shariah Index.
