Since SIFY is a foreign based company, shouldn't there be a fifth letter in the ticker symbol. SIFYF? Am I missing something or did they drop the fifth letter from Nasdaq names? You are missing something. <G> These conventions come in many different flavors I guess based on the bank doing the depository receipts. SIFY is same flavor convention as ERICY (Ericsson) which is the convention to have a Y suffix. Others use no convention at all if they list directly on the exchange and stop being a depository receipt. Nokia used to NOKA (the A suffix foreign equity) but became NOK I guess when it listed directly. The Brazilian Baby-bras (12 children of Telebras - TBR) have no suffix. Not sure how it all works, but having a suffix is not universal for foreign equities though some (like SIFY) do and it happens to be of the Y flavor.
