The FTSE Vietnam Index has announced changes to its constituents, with the addition of three stocks: BID, FPT, and STB. Conversely, FRT and VTP will be removed from the index.
BID is one of two stocks added to the FTSE Vietnam All-Share Index, alongside HAG. Meanwhile, the All-Share Index will remove NAB, PVT, and SBT.
The new constituents will take effect after the market closes on Friday (September 26) and will be officially traded from the following Monday (September 29).
In a notable development, the FTSE Vietnam Index is no longer the reference index for the FTSE Vietnam ETF (FTSE ETF).
According to asset management company DWS, the $352 million FTSE ETF will be renamed “Xtrackers Vietnam Swap UCITS ETF,” and its reference index will change from the FTSE Vietnam Index to the STOXX Vietnam Total Market Liquid.
