Addressing the gathering, Life Healthcare Chief Executive Officer, André Meyer, said, “The JSE’s change in focus from a Top 40 ‘largest company’ index to a Top 40 ‘most investable company’ index is particularly gratifying since it recognises the underlying quality of the Life Healthcare Group and positions the business as a superior investment opportunity.”

“However, in the Top 40 index, where the largest investable companies are now represented according to free float adjusted market capitalisation, Life Healthcare now ranks 39th, hence its inclusion in the index,” Meyer added.
