Korea: An Institutional Perspective

South Korea is considered an advanced and innovative society with numerous well-known global companies and sophisticated research and development capabilities. However, institutional investors still view the experience of investing Korea as an Emerging Market.
 

In this webinar, we will explore the main reasons why Korea remains an Emerging Market based on the views and requirements of a full spectrum of institutional investors consulted by MSCI Research. We will also examine the details behind what it will likely take for Korea to move to full Developed Markets status.
 

In addition, we will review the key MSCI criteria for its market classification framework, which includes not only the economic development, size and liquidity of a market, but its accessibility to investors.

 
Agenda Topics Include:
  • A spotlight on Korea and why it is categorized as an Emerging Markets country
  • The issues and requirements pertinent to institutional investors when potentially migrating a country from Emerging Markets to Developed Markets status
  • A review of the key criteria determining the MSCI market classification scheme across different investment universes
