    iBoxx MSCI ESG USD Emerging Markets Sovereigns Quality Weighted - Country Selection Weights Update

    S&P Dow Jones Indices (“S&P DJI”) has identified an issue with Country market-value weights for the iBoxx MSCI ESG USD Emerging Markets Sovereigns Quality Weighted Index (ISIN: GB00BL096Y92,Ticker: IBXXESG1) for the quarterly rebalancings from March 2023 onwards.

    S&P DJI has determined that the quarterly process for establishing Country market-value weights was not performed according to the index methodology. A list of the impact and effected countries as of the 30 November 2023 rebalancing is available in the file included below.

    As per the iBoxx Indices Recalculation Policy, the Index Committee will generally not alter the index composition and/or weightings of constituents retroactively, except in limited circumstances. The Index Committee has reviewed the impact and determined that the affected index will not be recalculated. The Country weight calculation and ESG exclusion process will be applied in accordance with the methodology at the next quarterly rebalancing, effective 28 February 2024. The new country weights will be implemented with the next rebalance, effective prior to the open of Friday, 1 March 2024.
