MSCI QSE 20 ESG Index

The MSCI QSE 20 ESG Index (the ‘Index’) is an index jointly launched by MSCI and the Qatar Stock Exchange. The Index is based on the MSCI Qatar Investable Market Index (IMI) that represents the performance of large, mid and small-cap stocks of the Qatar equity market from the point of view of an investor following a trading calendar of Sunday through Thursday week (STW). The Index aims to represent the performance of an investment strategy that by re-weighting free-float market cap weights based upon certain ESG metrics seeks to increase exposure to those companies demonstrating both a robust ESG profile as well as a positive trend in improving that profile, subject to a cap on the weight of individual constituents.
