WHAT if at the start of 2021, you were given a choice between picking an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks all the main Bursa Malaysia Index series, which index would you choose?
Other than the FBM KLCI, Bursa Malaysia has some 20-odd indices that typically don’t only track the various sectors, but are also broken into various categories like the FBM Mid 70 Index, FBM Top 100 Index, the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index, FBM Small Cap Index, FBM Mids Cap Index, the FBM Emas Index, FBM ACE Index, and the FBM Fledgling Index.
