Doha: Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) has announced the results of the November semi-annual review of the MSCI Indexes, which saw Gulf Warehousing Company (GWC) removed from the MSCI Small Cap Index.
According to the exchange, the changes will take effect after the market close on Nov. 24, 2025.
MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) conducts semi-annual index reviews in May and November, in addition to quarterly reviews in February and August, to ensure that its indices accurately reflect market performance and liquidity.
Inclusion or exclusion of companies from MSCI indices depends on several factors, including foreign ownership limits, trading activity, market capitalization, liquidity, and stock turnover ratios on both monthly and annual bases.
Market analysts note that such adjustments can influence investor sentiment and fund flows, as many institutional investors and global funds track MSCI indices to guide portfolio allocations.
