HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hang Seng Indexes Co. Ltd said on Monday it would shake up the main Hong Kong stock benchmark with the goal of including 100 companies, part of an effort to ensure the index better reflects the range of firms listed in Hong Kong.

"The new enhancements to the HSI will further increase its representation and make the Index more balanced and diversified," Anita Mo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Seng Indexes Company, said in a statement.
