Riassunto analitico
The aim of this work is to contribute to the long-standing debate in the financial literature about index inclusion and exclusion effects. We focus on MSCI Standard Indexes, both developed and emerging markets segments, in the last 20 years. We found, in line with the previous literature, significant price and volume effects after the announcement and in the run up to the rebalance. Mild evidence of anticipatory effects is present too. We also found that, despite an initial reversal, the price effect seems to be persistent in the long run, and it does not seem to have reduced over time. Buying and selling pressure by passive funds that track the indexes can play a role (Price Pressure Hypothesis), but it can not explain the permanent effect. We test alternative hypotheses, and conclude that the most plausible is the Imperfect Substitutes Hypothesis. However, the evidence is strong only for the developed markets segment, and further studies should try to address this asymmetry between different indexes.
