AJ Bell sees limited UK investor impact from potential MSCI removal of Indonesia

AJ Bell’s October 16, 2026, analysis examines Indonesia’s potential removal from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to standalone status. The proposal triggered a one-day decline exceeding 11% in the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index, taking its year-to-date loss to 36%. Opaque ownership raised concerns about market functioning; MSCI had already imposed a freeze on Indonesia at the end of January. Indonesia exposure in funds tracking MSCI emerging market indices fell from 1% to less than 0.5% this year. A removal decision is expected next June; the potential reclassification is unlikely to materially affect UK investors.
