The IMI, Large, Mid, SMID, Micro Cap, Small + Micro Cap, All Cap, EM, FM and ACWI Small Cap Indices and their corresponding Value and Growth Indices, together with the Provisional Standard, DM Provisional Small Cap and DM Small Cap Value and Growth Indices are all based on the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices Methodology.
DM and EM Standard Indices and their respective Value and Growth Indices, as well as DM Small Cap Indices followed the MSCI Standard Index Methodology based on a sampling approach until June 2007, when they began to be transitioned to their respective Provisional Indices in two phases (November 2007 and May 2008). Since June 2008, these indices are also based on the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices Methodology. MSCI Euro and MSCI Pan Euro Indices, which were subsets of MSCI EMU and MSCI Europe Indices respectively, transitioned in one phase as of the close of November 30, 2007, to the MSCI EMU Large Cap and MSCI Europe Large Cap Indices, respectively. MSCI Provisional Indices were maintained during the transition to the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices Methodology from June 2007 to May 2008. The ongoing calculation of these indices was discontinued on June 30, 2008. Historical index levels for these provisional indices continue to be posted to provide access to their back-calculated history.
