INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
In line with the governments aspiration to become a developed nation by 2020, Bursa Malaysia aspires to evolve into a more developed market within the next 14 years. With this in mind, it has teamed up with Londons Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) to create a more attractive trading platform, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia (FBM) Index Series, which would make Malaysia a more viable place for investment by foreign entities.
The FBM Series is designed to measure the performance of the major capital segments of the Malaysian market. All Malaysian companies listed on the Bursa Malaysia Main Board are eligible for inclusion, subject to passing FTSE’s international standards of liquidity, invest ability and free float adjustments. There are seven new indices that have been introduced but since this research focuses more on the overall performance of the Malaysian stock markets, we will be comparing between Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) and FBM EMAS Index.
Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) has become the official index for Malaysia.
