iShares MSCI UAE ETF (UAE) Stock Price, Quote, News & History | Benzinga

The fund seeks to track the investment results of the MSCI All UAE Capped Index, which is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index composed of securities within the Broad UAE Equity Universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc., subject to certain eligibility and investability criteria as defined by MSCI. The Underlying Index targets a minimum of 25 securities and 20 issuers. The Underlying Index consists of equity securities of companies that are (i) classified in the United Arab Emirates according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes Methodology and (ii) not classified in the UAE but are either headquartered or listed in the UAE and have a significant linkage to the UAE, as determined by MSCI based on the company's shareholder base, revenues, assets, management, employee base, history and country of incorporation. If the criteria outlined in (i) and (ii) do not result in the target number of securities and issuers, the Underlying Index will also include securities of companies with economic exposure of greater than 10% to the UAE, as determined by MSCI based on the geographic distribution of a company's revenues. Securities are included in the Underlying Index at their free float-adjusted market capitalization weight, except for securities that are included only on the basis of economic exposure to the country. The maximum weight for such constituents is generally limited to 1% each, although higher weights may result due to the group capping methodology described below.
