Which stock will take Keppel Land’s coveted spot on the STI reserve list?

KepLand currently has the largest market cap on the reserve list.

Keppel Land will be removed from the STI reserve list if its parent company succeeds in its $3b privatisation bid. KepLand currently has the largest market capitalisation on the STI reserve list, which is made up of the five highest ranking non-constituents of the STI by market cap.

According to UOB Kay Hian, KepLand’s soon-to-be vacated spot will most likely be taken by either SingPost and Frasers Centrepoint. The next review for the FSSTI component list is on 5 Mar 15.

The STI is widely followed by investors as the benchmark for the Singapore market and is used as the basis for a range of financial products including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), futures, warrants and other derivatives.
