The FTSE SET Large Cap Index is used as the basis of financial products including ETF, Mutual funds, derivatives, and for benchmarking. The indices are reviewed semi-annually by the independent FTSE SET Index Advisory Committee in accordance with transparent and publicly available index ground rules. The reviews ensure that the indices accurately reflect the market they represent. This is essential as the indices are used to benchmark investment portfolios and as the basis of index-linked products.
Other indices in the FTSE SET Index Series were also reviewed. Full details of additions and deletions can be found at www.ftse.com/Indices/FTSE_SET_Index_Series/Index_Reviews.jsp.
All constituent changes will take effect before the start of trading on 20 December 2010. The next review will take place on 10 June 2011.
