MSCI Announces Results Of May 2010 Semi-Annual Index Review

Index provider MSCI Inc. (MXB) Tuesday said it will include Bangladesh stocks into its frontier markets measure and will create a stand-alone country index for Bosnia-Herzegovina as part of the firm's semi-annual index review.

MSCI also announced the addition of 42 securities and the deletion of 45 across its global standard indexes. Included in the reshuffling is the addition of Indonesia's Gudang Garam (GGRM.JK), China's Lee & Man Paper Manufacturing Ltd. (2314.HK), and India's Rural Electrification Corp. Ltd. (532955.BY) to the widely tracked MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

Also, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA, TEVA.TV) will be added to the MSCI World Index as part of the firm's reclassification of Israel to developed market status. MSCI last year announced that Israeli stocks would be taken out of emerging-market indexes and upgraded to broader world indexes.

The announcement has implications for funds that are benchmarked against MSCI's indexes as they will have to purchase the newly added securities.

After giving more weight to Chinese equities in their last index review in November, MSCI added 105 stocks to and removed four the MSCI China A Index. Among the largest additions are Haitong Securities Co. Ltd. (600837.SH) and Xinjiang Goldwind Science & Technology Co. Ltd. (002202.SZ).

All changes will take effect May 27.
