The MSCI Emerging Markets Index was launched on Jan 01, 2001. Data prior to the launch date is back-tested data (i.e. calculations of how the index might have performed over that time period had the index
existed). There are frequently material differences between back-tested performance and actual results. Past performance -- whether actual or back-tested -- is no indication or guarantee of future performance.

INDEX METHODOLOGY
The index is based on the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes (GIMI) Methodology âÂ#Â#a comprehensive and consistent approach to
index construction that allows for meaningful global views and cross regional comparisons across all market capitalization size, sector and
style segments and combinations. This methodology aims to provide exhaustive coverage of the relevant investment opportunity set with
a strong emphasis on index liquidity, investability and replicability. The index is reviewed quarterlyâÂ#Â#in February, May, August and
NovemberâÂ#Â#with the objective of reflecting change in the underlying equity markets in a timely manner, while limiting undue index
turnover. During the May and November semi-annualÃ# indexÃ# reviews, the index is rebalanced and the large and mid capitalization
cutoff points are recalculated.
