FTSE Frontier Index Series - Q1 2009
The FTSE Global Equity Index Series will be expanded to include coverage of 23 frontier markets alongside its existing developed and emerging market indices. The new index series will cover 23 countries and seven regional indices, and will include all companies with an investable market capitalisation of more than $50m.
The indices have been screened using our established country classification methodology that assesses markets against the size requirements, basic governance and market infrastructure elements required by international institutional investors.
By extending coverage within our Global Equity Index Series (GEIS), we can offer investors an objective and rulesbased means of managing their exposure to new equity markets as they evolve their market infrastructures and regulatory environments.
