MSCI Index Revisions: MSCI will update its ACWI and Emerging Markets indexes on August 26, adding 42 securities and removing 56, which may impact ETFs linked to these indexes and cause temporary trading volume spikes.
Investor Implications: The changes could create short-term trading opportunities for active traders, while long-term ETF holders are unlikely to see significant shifts in their risk-return profiles, as the adjustments represent only a small fraction of the overall portfolios.
