No changes expected in Italy's blue chip index next week
MILAN, May 29 (Reuters) -No changes are expected in the Italian blue-chip stock index FTSE Mib .FTMIB in a review at the start of June, while regional bank Banco Desio e della Brianza DESI.MI should join the Mid Cap index, replacing the technology company Saes Getters SAEI.MI, traders said on Wednesday.
The composition of the 40-member FTSE Mib is reviewed every three months based on companies' market capitalisation and the liquidity of their shares.
The deadline for calculations related to the index update expired on Monday. On the reserve list for a possible promotion to the blue-chip index are cement company Buzzi BZU.MI and asset management company Banca Generali BGN.MI, traders added.
Banco Desio e della Brianza represents a potential index weight of around 0.55%, while Saes Getters has a current weight of 0.75%. However, Saes Getters is going to be delisted upon the completion of a takeover bid launched by SGG Holding, ending June 21.
FTSE Russell, the group which manages the FTSE Mib composition reviews, will unveil its index changes on June 5. They will be effective from June 24.
