The MSCI EM 50 Index is a representative and replicable subset of the flagship MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Index.  It includes 50 of the largest constituents of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and aims to closely track the performance characteristics of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The EM 50 Index also applies eligibility screens to exclude some of the smallest Emerging Markets countries and uses depositary receipts for certain markets that are less accessible to foreign investors.

The MSCI EM 50 Index is designed to be able to serve as the basis for structured products and other index-linked investment vehicles.
