MSCI will announce the results of the November 2011 Semi Annual Index Reviewon November 15
th
, 2011. All official changes to the MSCI indices will be effectiveafter market close on Wednesday, November 30, 2011.In this note, we have listed 23 potential Additions to, and 30 potential Deletionsfrom, the MSCI Developed Markets based on our best interpretation of the MSCImethodology. The differences between this updated list and our preliminary listpublished last October 13th are limited and due mainly to the use of different datacut-off dates and, for some stocks, updated free float and shares in issue data.As we did in our preliminary predictions report, we have, again, introduced threeconviction levels (High, Mid and Low) to be assigned against each name.In our analysis we have chosen a day from last week as the main data cut-off date,which we believe MSCI will most likely to use. MSCI does not disclose the dateused for their analysis until the actual announcement. This clearly makespredictions more difficult as potential changes could vary with significant marketmoves. To investigate the potential difference this may cause, we have furtherconducted the analysis using closing prices from two other days last week (Date 2& Date 3). We have highlighted the differences inside.Please note: MSCI announced on August 31st its finalized and confirmed changein its methodology dealing with securities with limited investability due to foreignownership restrictions. These changes will be implemented coinciding with theNovember 2011 SAIR. Under this new rule it is proposed that the free floats ofRyan Air (RYA ID) and MAP (MAP AT) are to be adjusted down to 0.13 (currently0.25) and 0.1 (currently at 0.2) respectively. However, MSCI will assess theconformity with minimum free float market capitalization threshold using the freefloat market cap before the adjustment. Therefore, these two companies are likelyto stay in the index with reduced weight. Please see Figure 4 within for details.

Potential MSCI DevelopedMarkets Additions andDeletions
Potential Additions
Figure 2 below lists the potential additions to MSCI World, comparing analysis based on theclosing prices of our primary chosen cut-off date with that of two other dates.We can see from Figure 2 that there are some minor differences in the results for the threedates presented. In order to provide an idea of conviction, we have introduced three levels(High, Mid, Low) to be assigned against each name as shown in the tables below. All weightchanges expressed are calculated using MSCI World as the benchmark. Please note that allnames have been ordered by Market, then by Conviction and finally by absolute Flow ($m).On October 13
th
, we published a preliminary list of Developed Market predictions titled“MSCI SAIR Nov 2011 DM Preliminary Predictions”. In Figures 2 and 3 below we haveflagged companies that have reappeared in this updated report. This is indicated in therightmost column (“Prelim. List”) in both tables.
