AMMB Holdings Berhad will join the prestigious FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI, replacing Hong Leong Financial Group Berhad, following the semi-annual review of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series for June 2025. The changes, announced jointly by FTSE Russell and Bursa Malaysia Berhad today, will take effect on June 23, 2025.
The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI, widely recognized as the primary benchmark for Malaysia’s capital market, is also tracked by various index-linked financial products, including exchange-traded funds and derivatives like the FKLI and OKLI.
The review also saw a number of changes to the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Mid 70 Index, which tracks the performance of the next 70 largest companies after the KLCI constituents. Four companies will be added to this index:
- Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad (promoted from the Mid 70 Index to the KLCI)
- SAM Engineering & Equipment Malaysia Berhad
- Sunway Real Estate Investment Trust
- Tropicana Corporation Berhad
Conversely, four companies will be excluded from the Mid 70 Index:
- AMMB Holdings Berhad (promoted to FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI)
- Bermaz Auto Berhad
- D&O Green Technologies Berhad
- WCE Holdings Berhad
In the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Hijrah Shariah Index, which comprises Shariah-compliant companies, Sime Darby Property Berhad will be included, while Scientex Berhad will be excluded.
FTSE Russell and Bursa Malaysia also confirmed the reserve list for the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI. This list, comprising the five largest non-constituents by market capitalisation, includes Genting Berhad, IOI Properties Group Berhad, KPJ Healthcare Berhad, United Plantations Berhad, and Westports Holdings Berhad. These companies would be considered for inclusion should any current KLCI constituent be removed before the next semi-annual review.
The next review of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series is scheduled for December 2025.
