·
21 new
inclusions and 10 deletions from the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index
·
21 new
inclusions and 7 deletions from the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Shariah Index
Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”) today announced 21 new additions to the constituents of the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (“F4GBM”) Index and the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Shariah (“F4GBMS”) Index, respectively.
The F4GBM Index, which was launched in December 2014 with 24 constituents, measures the performance of public listed companies (“PLCs”) demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) practices. The F4GBM Index constituents are drawn from the companies of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Index, comprising PLCs from across the small, medium and large market capitalisation segments.
On the other hand, the F4GBMS Index launched in July 2021 with 54 constituents, is designed to track constituents in the F4GBM that are Shariah-compliant, in accordance with the Shariah Advisory Council (“SAC”) screening methodology.
Both indices are reviewed semi-annually in June and December against international benchmarks. For the latest review period of December 2022, there are 21 new additions and 10 deletions from the F4GBM Index constituents, bringing the total number of constituents to 98, continuing the index’s year-on-year increase since its inception in 2014. Separately, the 21 new additions and seven (7) deletions for the F4GBMS Index will result in the index having 79 constituents. All constituent changes will take effect at the start of business on Monday, 19 December 2022.
The following are the changes to the F4GBM Index and F4GBMS Index for the December 2022 semi-annual review:

Note:
The F4GBMS Index comprises constituents of the F4GBM Index that are Shariah compliant according to the Securities Commission’s Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) screening methodology.
Bursa Malaysia and FTSE Russell have been conducting outreach programmes to encourage and support companies in improving their ESG disclosures and practices. To further incentivise PLCs to advance their respective ESG journey, Bursa Malaysia has also put together collaborative efforts with other ESG ecosystem players, such as the financial institutions and institutional investors. The continuous increase in the number of constituents reflects the effectiveness of these programmes.
The updated listings of F4GBM Index and F4GBMS Index will be available on the Bursa Malaysia website after 23 December 2022 via the following link:
