Discussion of Results of MSCI's 2015 Market Classification Review

Every June, MSCI communicates the conclusions of its Annual Market Classification Review which is based on criteria set forth in the MSCI Market Classification Framework: economic development, size and liquidity as well as market accessibility. MSCI Index Research seeks input and validation from the investment community for this annual review.

Please join us for a webinar that discusses the results of MSCI Annual 2015 Market Classification Review.  During the event, we will review MSCI’s detailed position on China A-shares and the revised proposal on the index inclusion roadmap for China A-shares in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. In addition, we will also discuss  the announced reclassification proposal of the MSCI Pakistan Index from Frontier to Emerging Markets.

Finally, MSCI will also comment on the opening of the Saudi Arabian Stock Market to direct foreign investment and its potential implication for the inclusion of the MSCI Saudi Arabia Index into the MSCI Emerging Markets.
