FTSE Group (FTSE) and the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) today announced the launch of sixty-eight new Industry, Supersector and Sector indices. The indices enhance the existing FTSE SET Index Series and provide investors with the most comprehensive set of tools available for in-depth analysis of the Thailand market.
The new set of 10 Industry, 19 Supersector and 39 Sector indices can be used to execute investment strategies and to create index-linked financial products based on sector-specific criteria. As a result, investors get a deeper level of granularity and better understand which sectors are driving market performance. Designed using the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) which has been adopted as the global standard in stock sector and industry classification, the indices also enable investors to make like-for-like comparisons between sectors and industries in Thailand and other countries.
The new indices are part of the FTSE SET All-Share Universe and will give current subscribers additional benefits to their existing data packages at no extra cost.
A full list of the Industry, Supersector and Sector indices can be found in the Appendix. For more information about the FTSE SET Index Series including the index ground rules, please visit www.ftse.com/thailand.
