Free Indices
(redirected from Free Index)

     0.01 sec.
Free Indices
Usually refers to indices constructed by Morgan Stanley Capital International such that the market capitalization weights reflect the degree to which a stock is investible by foreigners. For example, if a stock has $700 million capitalization but government restrictions only allow up to 50% to be held by foreigners, then the weight in the Free index would by $350 million. The Standard and Poors/International Finance Corporation indices call their equivalent indices Investible Indices (IFCI).
Free Indices
A series of indices developed by Morgan Stanley tracking securities that trade in various countries; the indices are weighted for market capitalization and the ability for foreigners to invest in them. For example, a free index may have a market capitalization of $1 billion, but if the laws of the countries in which the securities trade only allow up to 25% foreign ownership, the free index lists a market capitalization of $250 million. A prominent free index is the emerging markets free index. See also: BRIC.
