The classification of markets within FTSE’s Global Equity Index Series is assessed and considered on an ongoing basis, with changes in designation between Developed, Advanced Emerging, Secondary Emerging and Frontier status agreed annually in September.
This note provides an interim update on the 2014 assessment process, for the purposes of keeping investors fully informed. Although assessment of all markets within FTSE indices is a continuous process, FTSE, in conjunction with its external advisory committee of investment professionals, focuses mainly on working with markets which have been placed on the Watch List. The Watch List comprises a set of markets which international investors believe are close to promotion to the next category, or, occasionally, demotion from its existing Country Classification category.
