May 2020 GIMI Index Review
In accordance with the methodology, the MSCI GIMI Indexes will be rebalanced on the last business day of May 2020, with changes effective June 1, 2020. The proforma results of the rebalancing were announced on May 12, 2020. As with previous May semi-annual index reviews (SAIRs), the May 2020 review involved reassessing companies against liquidity criteria, assigning companies to large-, mid- and small-cap size segments and applying buffer zones to reduce index turnover. Though this SAIR was scheduled, with large shifts in equity markets, the need to refresh the index in this way becomes more pressing.
