EME Strategy: MSCI's May 2020 Semi-Annual Index Review – predictions

On 12 May, after the market closes, the MSCI is due to announce the results of its May Semi-Annual Index Review (SAIR) (changes effective from the 1 June open). We note that, due to the recently inflated volatility on the financial markets, our forecasts may be subject to greater margins of error. Nonetheless, we believe that the index provider could announce up to six deletions from the EME region (CCC, MIL, TITC, TRNFP Pref., TAVHL, ARCLK), and up to four additions (PLY, YNDX, YKBNK, VAKBN). We also note that the MSCI has decided to postpone the inclusion of Kuwait in the MSCI EM index from the May SAIR to the November SAIR.
