MSCI Enhanced Methodology for MSCI Standard Index Series "half" implementation from November 30, 2001. "Full" implementation from May 31, 2002. Weightings of MSCI Taiwan Index constituents will be adjusted halfway on November 30 from the current Market Capitalization Factor (MCF) (i.e., 80%) to half of the projected Foreign Inclusion Factor (FIF) (i.e., 50%), thus to a 65% weighting. Private sector analysts forecast a potential US$200mn outflow from Taiwan in the run-up to full implementation of MSCI's Enhanced Methodology for MSCI Standard Index Series as of May 31, 2002. (Foreign net buying of Taiwan shares from October 1 through October 8 was US$226mn.) The MSCI Global Index represents about US$150bn in total potential funds, MSCI Far East ex-Japan Free Index represents about US$900bn in total funds, and MSCI Emerging Markets represents about US$100bn, according to private sector analysts.
Foreign Inclusion Factors (FIF) for some MSCI Taiwan Index constituents are: TSMC 0.30; UMC 0.50; |
