In a statement, Bursa said the 12 new additions to the F4GBM Index bring the total number of constituents to 120, a significant increase from the 24 constituents since the index's inception in December 2014.

The 12 new additions to the F4BGM Index include: Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd (KL:BIMB), Carimin Petroleum Bhd (KL:CARIMIN), Harbour-Link Group Bhd (KL:HARBOUR), Icon Offshore Bhd (KL:ICON), Pecca Group Bhd (KL:PECCA) and Petron Malaysia Refining & Marketing Bhd (KL:PETRONM).

The F4GBMS Index tracks the constituents in the F4GBM that are shariah-compliant, in according to the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) screening methodology.
