MSCI’s November review will add three companies to the Global Standard list for its Taiwan Index and remove four, changing membership in a benchmark that CNA says helps guide professional investors’ portfolio adjustments.
MSCI’s list names Kinsus Interconnect Tech, Nan Ya Printed Circuit and Taiwan Union Technology as additions. Chailease Holding, E Ink Holdings, Lotes Co. and Wan Hai Lines are slated for removal. MSCI scheduled the revisions for the Nov. 30, 2026, market close.
CNA and UDN reported that Taiwan’s share of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index will rise to 29.01% from 28.86%. They put Taiwan’s weighting in the MSCI All-Country World Index at 3.28%, up from 3.25%, and its share in the MSCI All-Country Asia ex-Japan Index at 32.83%, up from 32.72%.
The same outlets reported that Taiwan Union Technology’s weight in the MSCI Taiwan Index will increase from 0% to 0.37%, while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s weight will drop by 0.25 percentage point to 54.29%.
CNA said analysts linked Taiwan’s higher reported weights to the performance of its technology-heavy market during the AI boom. The outlet also reported that the Taiex had risen more than 50% since the start of 2026 before Nov. 12, and that Taiwan’s weight had increased across all three indexes for a third consecutive quarter.
MSCI said its review results use price data as of Oct. 20 and may be adjusted before implementation for corporate events, Ineligible Alert Board treatments or other relevant factors. The constituent list records index membership changes; MSCI says it does not manage assets.
