Kingspan to join S&P Europe 350 index

Insulation manufacturer Kingpsan has been added to the S&P Europe 350 and S&P Euro indices.

Kingspan will join companies like Nestle, BP and HSBC in the S&P Europe 350, which consists of 350 blue-chip companies drawn from 16 developed European markets.

Kingspan will also be added to the S&P Euro index, a sub-index of the S&P Europe 350. This includes all euro zone domiciled stocks from the parent index, and is designed to be reflective of the euro zone market, yet efficient to replicate.

Kingspan will make the move on Monday, December 24th, 2018.
