The MSCI Emerging Markets Europe 10/40 Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index designed to measure equity performance in the emerging markets of Europe and adjusted for the limitations imposed by the UCITS III (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) directive on funds incorporated in member states of the European Union. The UCITS III directive constrains the weight of any single group entity, as defined therein, at 10% of a fund’s total assets and the sum of the weights of all group entities representing more than 5% of the fund at 40% of the fund's total assets. Investors cannot invest directly in the index.
