$EIDO This MSCI Indonesia EM removal is kinda nonsense if we're honest. Folks are going to say what they are going to say, and MSCI certainly is getting great press today. But this is kinda BS, and if I were Indonesian, I'd be unhappy. First, MSCI - love them or hate them - is just an index provider. They SHOULD NOT be driving investment decisions. And in many ways their rebalances are so mechanical as to not be as sketchy as even what S&P does. But this... I mean, the EM indices date back to just after 1997. That's only months after some pretty nasty stuff and the forced eating of several very painful IMF loans that basically had Indonesia coming out of the EM crisis last. And you can argue that there are "Frontier economies" and there are already other countries that are unclassified (Jamaica, Panama and Palestine). But that's completely nonsense given what industries are in Indonesia vs those 3 countries. I mean, Jamaica is in ag commodities via Arabica, but it's not comparable and neither are the other two to what Indonesia has. And on the FIF (Foreign Inclusion Factor)... I mean China is in the MSCI EM index... we really pretending nothing ever happens that makes FIF a bit less than straightforward on Chinese Stocks... Really? Finally... I mean... what are folks that invest in MSCI EM or use it as a benchmark thinking? Is there some confusion that EM has weird regulatory stuff going on that can be rather "Unique?" Let the underweight/overweight deal with it, as has been historically done. This seems so political. I'm sure MSCI has strong arguments... this is just one gal's opinion on the specific timing.
