MSCI即时冻结土耳其股票指数部分调整，警告2027年6月前无改善或从新兴市场降级为前沿/独立市场

NEW YORK
--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2026--
MSCI
announced that it will apply a freeze on certain index related changes for Turkish equity securities resulting from Index Reviews or corporate events, effective immediately and until further notice.
As part of the
MSCI
2026 Market Classification Review,
MSCI
highlighted serious concerns raised by institutional investors about possible coordinated trading through fund holdings closely affiliated with certain smaller listed companies, which undermines the reliability of free float estimates and market integrity.
MSCI
noted that it would look for tangible and credible progress, including granular and timely disclosure of beneficial ownership, robust surveillance and enforcement against coordinated trading behavior, and a transparent rules-based framework for identifying and treating securities with structurally distorted free float.
Since then, Turkish authorities have, among other actions, introduced a framework that excludes fund-held stakes from free float where the beneficial owner is already excluded. As these are initial measures, institutional investors will need to see credible and sustained enforcement against coordinated trading, and disclosure standards that enable independent verification of the free float of Turkish securities. Both must be applied consistently across the market. Additional time is required to assess whether these measures are delivering the structural improvements investors require. Accordingly,
MSCI
will continue to seek feedback from market participants on the functioning of the Turkish equity market.
MSCI
will apply an interim freeze on certain index related changes for Turkish equity securities, effective immediately and until further notice. Under this treatment,
MSCI
will not implement increases to Foreign Inclusion Factors (FIF) or Number of Shares (NOS), additions to the
MSCI
Turkey Investable Market Index (IMI) or upward migrations across size-segments indexes.
MSCI
will continue to monitor the Turkish equity market closely as to the effectiveness of rule changes and enforcement measures. Should sufficient progress not be evident by
June 2027
,
MSCI
will consider additional measures, including a consultation on a potential reclassification of the
MSCI
Turkey Indexes from Emerging Market to Frontier or Standalone Market status. The treatment of the
MSCI
Turkey Indexes will be reassessed as part of the
MSCI
2027 Annual Market Classification Review.

The user or recipient of the Information assumes the entire risk of any use it may make, permit or cause to be made of the Information. NONE OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDERS MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION (OR THE RESULTS TO BE OBTAINED BY THE USE THEREOF), AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH INFORMATION PROVIDER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ORIGINALITY, ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, SUITABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE INFORMATION. Without limiting any of the foregoing and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall
MSCI
or any other Information Provider have any liability arising out of or relating to any of the Information, including for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, consequential (including lost profits) or any other damages, even if notified of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing shall not exclude or limit any liability that may not by applicable law be excluded or limited.
The Information, including index construction, ratings, historical data, or analysis, is not a prediction or guarantee of future performance, and must not be relied upon as such. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The Information may contain back tested data. Back-tested performance based on back-tested data is not actual performance but is hypothetical. There are frequently material differences between back tested performance results and actual results subsequently achieved by any investment strategy. The Information may include “Signals,” defined as quantitative attributes or the product of methods or formulas that describe or are derived from calculations using historical data. Signals are inherently backward-looking because of their use of historical data, and they are inherently inaccurate, not intended to predict the future and must not be relied upon as such. The relevance, correlations and accuracy of Signals frequently change materially over time.
The Information may include data relating to indicative prices, evaluated pricing or other information based on estimates or evaluations (collectively, “Evaluations”) that are not current and do not reflect real-time traded prices. No evaluation method, including those used by the
Information Providers
, may consistently generate evaluations or estimates that correspond to actual “traded” prices of any relevant securities or other assets. Evaluations are subject to change at any time without notice and without any duty to update or inform you, may not reflect prices at which actual transactions or collateral calls may occur or have occurred. The market price of securities, financial instruments, and other assets can be determined only if and when executed in the market. There may be no, or may not have been any, secondary trading market for the relevant securities, financial instruments or other assets. Private capital, equity, credit and other assets and their prices may be assessed infrequently, may not be priced on a secondary market, and shall not be relied upon as an explicit or implicit valuation of a particular instrument. Any reliance on fair value estimates and non-market inputs introduces potential biases and subjectivity. Internal Rate of Return metrics are not fully representative without full disclosure of fund cash flows, assumptions, and time horizons.
The Information does not constitute, and must not be relied upon as, investment advice, credit ratings, or proxy advisory or voting services. None of the
Information Providers
, their products or services, are fiduciaries or make any recommendation, endorsement, or approval of any investment decision or asset allocation. Likewise, the Information does not represent an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or an endorsement of any security, financial product, instrument, investment vehicle, or trading strategy, whether or not linked to or in any way based on any
MSCI
index, rating, subcomponent, or other Information (collectively, “Linked Investments”).The Information should not be relied on and is not a substitute for the skill, judgment and experience of any user when making investment and other business decisions.
MSCI
is not responsible for any user’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. All Information is impersonal, not tailored to the needs of any person, entity or group of persons, not objectively verifiable in every respect, and may not be based on information that is important to any user.
It is not possible to invest in an index. Exposure to an asset class or trading strategy or other category represented by an index is only available through third party investable instruments (if any) based on that index.
MSCI
makes no assurance that any Linked Investments will accurately track index performance or provide positive investment returns. Index returns do not represent results of actual trading of investible assets/securities.
MSCI
maintains and calculates indexes but does not manage assets. The calculation of indexes and index returns may deviate from the stated methodology. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase securities underlying the index or Linked Investments. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause the performance of a
Linked Investment
to be different than the
MSCI
index performance.
