State-owned Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) and UTI Asset Management Company (AMC) are likely to get included in FTSE global indices during their quarterly rebalancing later this week. “In terms of fresh inclusions, we expect IRFC to get included in the All World and All Cap index and also expect UTI AMC to get included in the All Cap (Small Cap) index,” said Sriram Velayudhan, Vice President at IIFL Securities in a note. China-based Fosun Pharma-led Gland Pharma also meets the qualification criteria, but limited room for overseas investment could spoil its chances. The quarterly adjustments to FTSE global equity indices will be announced on May 21 and the changes will become effective from June 18.
