The forthcoming periodical portfolio rebalancing by FTSE Vietnam and MVIS is expected to remain unchanged or change only marginally. Companies are predicted to benefit from additional buying include PetroVietnam Power, Sacombank, Bao Viet Holdings, Vietcombank, and Vietjet.
In the portfolio of FTSE Vietnam, only PV Drilling & Well Services (HSX: PVD) fell slightly short of meeting the free-float adjusted market capitalisation requirement, putting the stock at risk of removal. The number of constituents of the FTSE Vietnam index may remain unchanged. In case the number of constituents increases, the most likely candidates are Dat Xanh Group (HSX: DXG) and Ho Chi Minh Development Bank (HSX: HDB). All changes will become effective on December 21 or after the closing of business on December 18, stated KB Securities.
