MSCI Inc. has canceled the planned addition of three Turkish securities to its small-cap indexes following feedback from market participants and further analysis of investability concerns.
The decision affects Tera Yatirim, Tera Finansal Yatirimlar and Kardemir (B) Class B shares, which were originally scheduled for inclusion in the August 2026 review cycle. The index provider did not provide specific details on the nature of the investability concerns.
MSCI stated it will continue to evaluate Turkish securities individually when such issues arise, maintaining heightened scrutiny of the market due to investor concerns regarding free-float levels and trading practices. The announcement was made on August 25, 2026.
The decision follows a broader pattern of increased oversight of Turkish equities by global index providers amid ongoing market access and liquidity considerations.
