EME Strategy: MSCI November Semi-Annual Index Review – predictions

On Thursday (7 November), after the market closes, the MSCI is due to announce the results of its November Semi-Annual Index Review (SAIR; the changes become effective as of the 26 November close/27 November opening). The MSCI will use one of the 10 last business days of October for the price calculations. Moreover, we note that, along with the index review, the Chinese A-shares will have their inclusion factor increased by 5ppts, from 15% to 20%, which could result in passive outflows of c.USD 0.3bn from the EME region, according to our estimates. We stress that this estimate excludes possible fund flows triggered by stocks being admitted/excluded and/or changes in free floats (FF) worldwide. Once the MSCI announces the results of the November SAIR, we will update our fund flows estimates.
