KUALA LUMPUR: AMMB Holdings Bhd and QL Resources Bhd will be included as a constituent of the benchmark FBM KLCI index, replacing Hartalega Holdings Bhd and Top Glove Corp Bhd.

This follows the latest December 2022 semi-annual review of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series.

The reserve list will be used if one or more constituents are deleted from the FBM KLCI in accordance with the index ground rules during the period up to the next semi-annual review.

Meanwhile, there will be 11 new inclusions into the FBM Mid 70 Index. The 11 are Affin Bank, Berjaya Food, Dayang Enterprise Holdings, Hartalega, Heineken Malaysia, Hextar Technologies Solutions, Hong Leong Capital, PMB Technology, Top Glove, Uchi Technologies and United Plantations.
