S&P DJI considering change to SL index methodology

S&P Dow Jones Indices (‘S&P DJI’) is conducting a consultation with members of the investment community on a potential change to the S&P Sri Lanka 20.

S&P DJI is considering revising the index methodology in order to reduce single sector concentration in the index. The company is seeking consultation particularly for a proposal to add a 35% GICS sector cap which impacts constituent weightings.

As per the proposed methodology, constituent company and GICS sector weights are capped at 15% and 35%, respectively, at each quarterly rebalancing.

Currently, constituent company weights are only capped at 15% at each quarterly rebalancing.

Constituent company and GICS sector weights are capped at 15% and 35%, respectively, at each quarterly rebalancing.
