2011 was mostly marked by volatility and negative sentiment in global markets but despite all this, the Malaysian market weathered the storm, proving its tenacity in the face of uncertainty. The FBM KLCI ended the year by edging up 4.76 points in the last week of trading, a slightly better performance than its regional peers.
On Bursa Malaysia’s front, we continued our pursuit to make our market more attractive, and our Exchange more competitive. In 4Q2011, we hosted the inaugural IPO Seminar and launched the Practical Guide to Listing to assist SMEs in their journey to become public-listed entities. Our commitment to push the ASEAN agenda remained on track, as we worked hard to realise the multifold benefits of an integrated and interlinked ASEAN trading platform for investors.
On 29th November 2011, Bursa Malaysia launched the start of the annual Corporate Governance (CG) Week. During the CG week, renowned international experts converged in Malaysia to push the agenda of sustainability and good governance further.
On the derivatives front, we hosted an appreciation dinner for Talk Futures participating brokers to thank them for their contribution in drumming up interest among retail investors in derivatives trading. In addition, Bursa Malaysia Derivatives introduced the Negotiated Large Trade facility to improve efficiency in December 2011.
On this note, we wish you a good and productive year ahead. May you embrace the new year with vigor and positivity. To our friends celebrating Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai.

FTSE AND BURSA MALAYSIA INTRODUCE NEW SECTOR INDICES AND REFINE GROUND RULES ON FREE-FLOAT
On 3 October 2011, FTSE Group (FTSE) and Bursa Malaysia announced the launch of a new set of Industry, Supersector and Sector indices to complement the existing FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series. The new FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Industry indices are designed to provide investors with a comprehensive set of tools for in-depth analysis of the Malaysian stock market.
In conjunction with this extension of the existing FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series, the free-float methodology for the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series has been reviewed and enhanced, to ensure the indices continue to provide the most accurate reflection of the Malaysian equity market opportunity.
NEW SECTOR INDICES The new set of 10 Industry, 19 Supersector and 39 Sector indices can be used to execute investment strategies and to create index-linked financial products based on sector-specific criteria. As a result, investors will gain deeper granularity and better understanding of the sectors, including those that are driving market performance. Designed using the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB), adopted as a global standard in stock, sector and industry classification, the indices will also enable investors to make attribution and cross border comparison between sectors and industries in Malaysia and other countries.
The new FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Industry indices form part of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS universe and will be calculated on an end of day basis. Subscribers of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series will receive the new indices as part of their existing data package at no extra cost. A full list of the Industry, Supersector and Sector indices can be found here.
REFINING THE FREE FLOAT DEFINITION The change to the definition of free float restrictions continues to provide domestic investors with robust, reflective and accurate benchmarks and tradable indices. At the same time, the alignment of the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series methodology towards that of the flagship FTSE Global Equity Index Series, used by investors around the world, maintains an internationally approved approach to the Malaysian financial market.
The methodology change is one of a number of factors reviewed to ensure that as the index series develops, it continues to provide investors with a sound representation of the true investability of companies in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series, thereby enabling effective and efficient replication of the index.

ASEAN EXCHANGES CEOS: PLANS ON TRACK TO PROMOTE ASEAN AS AN ASSET CLASS
BURSA MALAYSIA DERIVATIVES INTRODUCES NEGOTIATED LARGE TRADE FACILITY
Following the November 2011 ASEAN Exchanges CEOs meeting, on 17 November 2011, the ASEAN Exchanges CEOs announced that the collaboration framework is on track towards meeting its goals of collectively promoting ASEAN as a highly investable asset class. The Philippine Stock Exchange President and CEO, Hans Sicat said, “the marketing of the ASEAN Stars and the work on an ASEAN index series continues as planned with the ASEAN Exchanges collaboration members. The 2012 marketing activities for ASEAN Exchanges will be finalised at our scheduled CEOs meeting on 2 December 2011 in Hanoi.”
The seven ASEAN Exchanges have a combined market capitalization of approximately USD2.0 trillion and more than 3,600 companies listed on their exchanges. Some of these companies are the largest and most dynamic companies in the world, including leaders in finance and banking, energy, telecommunications, commodities, automotive manufacturing and other industrial sectors.
The CEOs also announced the awaited roll-out plan of the ASEAN Trading Link which will see the participation of member exchanges taking place progressively in stages. The first stage will see the connectivity of Singapore Exchange and Bursa Malaysia in June 2012 and the Stock Exchange of Thailand added in August 2012 after its new trading engine goes live. The participation dates of the other ASEAN Exchanges collaboration members, namely, Hanoi Stock Exchange, HoChiMinh Stock Exchange, Indonesia Stock Exchange and The Philippines Stock Exchange will be announced at a future date.
Market participants can now transact large-sized orders on futures contracts listed on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives via the Negotiated Large Trade (NLT) facility. This newly introduced facility allows large trades to be transacted at a single price, thereby minimising slippage and execution uncertainties.
This service is available for the KLCI Index Futures (FKLI), the Crude Palm Oil Futures (FCPO), the 3-Month KLIBOR Futures (FKB3) and the 5-Year MGS Futures (FMG5) contracts.
The NLT facilitates direct and private negotiations among customers and enables large orders to be transacted away from the Trading System. Trading Participants may use the facility to execute NLTs on behalf of their clients. The trades are then reported to the Exchange for clearing; and the volume and registration time of the negotiated trades are announced to the market.
For further information on the NLT facility, visit Bursa Malaysia’s website here.
