inclusion limit articulated by the MSCI (currently 0.2), we are able to decipher the relative weighting of Saudi Arabia if it were to be included the MSCI EM index.
This analysis suggests that Saudi's potential weighting in the MSCI EM Index (were it to be included today) would be c1.4%. Furthermore, it would likely trigger net inflows (from other MSCI EM markets) of US$10.9bn when including all passive and benchmark-neutral active funds tracking MSCI EM. Importantly, our analysis is based on EPFR data, which respectively indicates US$405bn and US$354bn of active and passive funds following the MSCI EM index.
