TRANSPORT company ComfortDelGro has been dropped from the Straits Times Index (STI) in the latest quarterly review, with recently-listed Emperador replacing it on the benchmark index.
The change to the STI, which tracks the performance of the 30 largest and most liquid companies listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), takes effect at the start of business on Sep 19, FTSE Russell said in a statement on Thursday (Sep 1).
Companies gain entry into the STI at quarterly reviews if they rank 20th or higher among eligible securities by full market capitalisation; conversely, those that rank 41st or below among all eligible securities are deleted from the list.
