    THE 30-counter Straits Times Index (STI) is set for a shake-up later this week, with the smallest companies on the market barometer fighting to stay on the index.

    This has been triggered by index constituent Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (YZJ Shipbuilding), which is spinning off its investment arm into a separately listed entity.

    The shipbuilding segment remains in YZJ Shipbuilding while Yangzijiang Financial Holding (YZJFH) will list on Thursday (Apr 28).
