1 RESEARCH REPORT - JUNE 217 FTSE Value-Stocks Indices Data as at: 3 June 217 Introduction The FTSE Value-Stocks Indices offer investors an exciting opportunity to access quality value stocks in the ASEAN, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan markets through a unique, transparent, and rules-based value strategy. These value-based equity indices combine FTSE s globally recognised index expertise with Value Partners proven track record in disciplined value investing. The value-based methodology is designed by Value Partners Index Services Limited and the index is calculated and maintained by FTSE Group. Constituents of the FTSE Value-Stocks Indices must pass a proprietary value screening process which includes valuation, quality, and contrarian factors. Low company valuations alone do not directly translate into attractive value investments.
