MSCI EAFE Index
The MSCI EAFE index is an indicator of the performance of developed countries’ stock markets outside of North America. It measures the performance of large and mid-cap companies across 21 developed markets around the world, and does not feature the US nor Canada.
With more than 800 constituents, the MSCI EAFE index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of included countries. This index is especially useful to remove US exposure that is strongly present within the MSCI World index and might be redundant within investors’ portfolios.
