Overview

Bursa Malaysia and FTSE Group joined forces on 26 June 2006 to launch the market data.

The market data is designed to represent the performance of companies, providing investors with a comprehensive and complementary set of indices, which measure the performance of the major capital and industry segments of the Malaysian and regional market.

All Malaysian companies listed on the Bursa Malaysia Main Market and ACE Market are eligible for inclusion, subject to meeting FTSE's international standards of free float, liquidity and investability. The FTSE Bursa Malaysia index methodology allows investors to do cross border analysis and comparison while a set of Ground Rules provides transparency to the management of the index series.

The index series covers all stock sizes within the market and provides the investors with a better tool to benchmark their investments. The indices are also suitable for the creation of investment products such as ETFs, derivatives, structured products and index tracking funds.
