SGX and CAI launch index targeted towards long term aviation

This is the first-of-its-kind collaboration between an index provider and an airport group.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Changi Airports International, in a historical collaboration, launched the iEdge-GateEq Aviation and Travel Index.

It covers the top 50 listed companies worldwide with revenue derived from the six sectors chosen by GateEq, namely: Airport Infrastructure and Services, Airlines, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and System Providers, Air Freight and Logistics, Travel and Booking Services, and Hospitality.

Overall, the index was constructed to be tradable with efficient liquidity and replicability, with SGX reviewing the index constituents quarterly.

“We are delighted to partner CAI on this aviation and travel index launch. As borders reopen and travel restrictions ease, the aviation and travel sector is one that is keenly watched by investors seeking to capture post-pandemic growth. While growth across the industry may be uneven, we hope that this index will serve as a yardstick and source of insight for investors and the wider industry, and we certainly look forward to this ongoing partnership with CAI,” Ng Kin Yee, Managing Director and Head of Data, Connectivity and Indices, SGX.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
