Qatar exchange rejigs key indices Today

Qatar Exchange will rebalance the QE Index and All Share Index effective today. Mazaya Real Estate Development Company and The Investors Company will now be part of the 20-share QE Index while Qatar Insurance and Al Meera will no longer be constituents, the QE said. From the banking sector, Al Ahli Bank has qualified to be included in the All Share Index. The bank also becomes a constituent of the underlying All Share sector index: Banks and Financial Services. QE has also enhanced the graphical representation of index performance in its website. Users can now note the effect of dividend reinvestment upon a portfolio - QE Index versus QE index total return - and also compare industry sector performance historically. The new graphing feature is fully customizable; allowing the user to select the type of benchmark (blue chip 20, All Share, sector) and time horizon for any study.
