Russell reaffirms that the UAE is more appropriately classified as an Emerging Market - bi-me.com

Russell Investments’, the leading global fund manager, classification of the United Arab Emirates as an Emerging Market remains different from the current Frontier Market designation given by MSCI and S&P.

This represents the largest difference by weight between the comparable Russell and MSCI Frontier and Emerging Index offerings.

Following the annual reconstitution of its global indices, Russell reaffirms the UAE’s classification as an Emerging Market. Russell created a paper to examine the UAE relative to the rest of the countries represented in the Russell Emerging Markets (REM) Index and median indicators from the Russell Frontier Index (RFI).
