    NOTES ON THE FINANCIAL TIMES–ACTUARIES EQUITY SHARE INDICES IN 1989 BY J. C. H. BRUMWELL, M.A., F.I.A. ABSTRACT The process of updating company classificationscontinued. Seventy Index constituents were replaced during 1989,mostly as a result of takeovers, not quite a record. Only 46 replaced them, reflecting the difficulty in finding suitable new non-industrial constituents. The Mining Finance group was discontinued, but Engineering–Aerospaceand Water were introduced. Shipping & Transport was renamed Transport. KEYWORDS FT Actuaries Index; Ordinary Shares; London Market 1. Classification of Stock Exchange Securities by Industry The original classifications were set out in the 1970 note in this series (J.I.A. 97, 111–12). Subsequent amendments were set out in the notes for 1971–74, 1977, 1979–80 and 1983–88 (J.I.A. 97, 403; 99, 89; 100, 109; 101,199; 105, 85; 107, 81; 108, 85; 111, 203; 112, 87; 113, 173; 114, 143; 115, 333 and 116, 179). On 1 July 1989, a new category No. 21 (Aerospace) was introduced and 12 companies were reclassified in it from, with one exception, category No. 27 (Miscellaneous Mechanical Engineering). At the end of 1989, category No. 78 (Foreign Banks) was discontinued. All companies so classified joined category No. 77 (Banks), and the definition of the latter category was expanded additionally to include that of the former. The name of category No. 85, ‘Merchant Banks’, was simplified by dropping the words ‘and Issuing Houses’. Minor amendments were also made to the definitions of five categories during 1989. As a result of the quarterly meetings of the Classification Sub-Committee of the Joint Investment and Index Committee, the classifications of 56 companies were altered.

  • Developing an Eastern Cape Auto Sector Strategy
    DEVELOPING AN EASTERN CAPE AUTO SECTOR STRATEGY A REPORT FOR THE EASTERN CAPE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONSULTATIVE COUNCIL prepared by: Ian Russell This Report has been prepared at the request of the ECSECC, and is intended only for this purpose. March 2006 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is: • To describe and analyse the historical performance of the Automotive sector of the Eastern Cape economy and to identify current trends • To identify its growth and labour absorption potential • To identify key constraints or blockages • To identify key infrastructural blockages and constraints and to make recommendations on how Government and stakeholders can address the constraints / blockages in a more systematic and pragmatic way A significant amount of space is devoted to the global industry, its relationships and the inter-relationships between vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) and component suppliers. This has been done because the investment decisions internationally, and this is equally applicable to South Africa, are increasingly being driven by global considerations. These decisions are often, in turn, motivated by OEMs, with the appropriate supplier investments following. Further, the significant rationalisation taking place globally is resulting in a reduction in the number of OEMs, suppliers and model platforms, each of which will have repercussions in all automotive-producing countries. A proper understanding of these complex global trends is essential background to any approach to OEMs or component suppliers for investment. It is important, therefore, to realise that in attracting new investment to a country or a region, it is unlikely that a component supplier will set up a manufacturing base without prior assurance of OEM business, at least in the local market or for export volumes.

  • Ategy As a Positive Alternative to Recession and Redundancies
    LUCAS AEROSPACE COMBINE SHOP STEWARD COMMITTEE CORPORATE PLAN A contingency s~:-ategy as a positive alternative to recession and redundancies. This is merely an introduction to the Corporate Plan and a summary of its proposals. The total plan includes 5 detailed ttlchnical sections each of approximately 200 pages. I These sections may be viewed upon request' to the secretary: E F Scarbrow \ 86 Mellow Lane East, Hayes, Middx. Tel: 01 848 9604 Home 01 965 7777 Work . INTRODUCTION This Corporate Plan was prepared by the Lucas Aerospace Combine Shop Stewards Committee for that section of Joseph Lucas Industries which is known as Lucas Aerospace. If a brief description of Lucas Industries is provided this gives an economic, technical and company background against which the performance and potential of its wholly owned subsidiary, Lucas Aerospace, can be viewed. It was also felt desirable to do so as some of the alternative products proposed elsewhere in this report, although emanating from aerospace technology, could more appropriately be handled, at the manufacturing stage, by production techniques and facilities available elsewhere in the Lucas organisations. Lucas Industries Ltd. Lucas Industries is a vast and complex organisation with design, development, manufacturing, sales and services activities in tl-te automotive, aerospace and industrial sectors of the economy. I The Company which was formed in 1877 now has some 80 000 employees and an annual turnover of approximately £300 000 000 and capital investment of £110 000 000. A simplified schemati<. diagram of the U.K. structure is provided in Appendix 1. A discernable feature of the Co~pany's mode of operation during the past few years has bee n to shift large quantities of capital, r esources and technological know how into ove<seas activities.
