New ASEAN-centric stock indices launched

MANILA—In a bid to boost the visibility of Southeast Asian-centric equity products, Asean Exchanges,  a group of bourses supporting regional integration, has rolled out three new indices broadly covering the growing Asean equity market.

The three new tradable Asean indices are the FTSE Asean all-share index, FTSE Asean Stars Index and FTSE Asean All Share Ex-Developed Index. The series comprises constituents from seven bourses in six Southeast Asian countries: Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, which has two exchanges.

In a statement, Asean Exchanges said the new expanded index series would increase the visibility and transparency of Asean and create a larger universe of stocks for all Asean markets. The expansion also included constituents from Vietnam’s two bourses for the first time.
