The Q1 2024 rebalancing was characterized by one new index component entering and three exiting the index.
Changes due to Quantitative Selection:
Three companies, Acadian Timber, Accsys Technologies and Western Forest Products were removed from the index as their average daily volume (ADV) fell back (in certain cases significantly) below the $100’000 threshold for index inclusion.
BlueLinx, a U.S. wholesale distributor of building products, was identified through bottom-up research, as the company is not categorized in common classification systems like BICS as a wood products distributor, although it predominantly distributes engineered wood products, lumber, OSB, siding, etc. It is a key competitor of Boise Cascade.
Changes due to Qualitative selection:
There were no changes based on qualitative selection criteria.
