FTSE Russell axes ComfortDelGro from STI

The transport company will be replaced by Emperador.

ComfortDelGro has been removed from the Straits Times Index (STI) following FTSE Russell's September quarterly review.

FTSE Russell, STI’s administrator, said Emperador will replace ComfortDelGro in the index.

If and when there are constituents who became ineligible as a result of corporate actions before the next review in December, stocks on the reserve list will replace them.

The top five highest ranking non-constituents of the STI by market capitalisation on the reserve list are  Olam Group, Suntec REIT, Keppel REIT, Frasers Centrepoint Trust and Ascott Residence Trust. 

Last June, Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust was in the top five.

Indexes undergo a quarterly review per the index ground rules. The review is conducted to facilitate the inclusion of eligible IPO stocks.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
