During the six month period ending December 13th 2013 Israeli equities prices rallied, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange experienced a resurgence of trading volume and liquidity, and there were several relatively large IPOs by Israeli companies (most notably WIX.com and Plus500). These events resulted in the addition of 18 new index constituents in the December 2013 BIGI rebalance. The BlueStar Index Advisory Committee met in November and recommended the removal of five constituents in the Energy sector due to investibilty concerns and an additional constituent was deleted due to low trading volume which resulted in a net addition of 12 companies to the BlueStar Israel Global Index. The five companies that were removed from the Energy sector are TASE-listed Limited Partnership (LP) units which have the potential for inefficiently distributing income to unit holders; since the tax consequences for U.S. investors of such distributions are unknown, the committee deemed them to be “not investible” thus their continued inclusion would violate the index’s mandate of providing investors with an “investible benchmark” of Global Israeli stocks. Partly compensating for the reduction in the weight of the Energy sector was the addition of Naphtha Israel Petroleum as well as that the cross-holding percent of Oil & Gas LPs held by non-LP constituents were added back to the investible weight factor (IWF) of the holding company.
