Origin

Following the first sub prime crisis of June 2007, the emerging markets, barely shaken, have distinguished again.

But the real intention of creating a repository such as the MSI 20000 is born some ten years of observation of an elite financial actors (traders, sales, analysts, brokers, funds and portfolio managers) derived from 'specific financial institutions (trading platforms, investment banks, brokers, investment funds, donors, etc ...) on western markets and Anglo-Saxon. Their hope: to intervene on efficient structures in emerging markets, growth index of these over-performing traditional index. The problem: lack of visibility and marking on this type of market. The solution: identify and single out the values and patterns that may be of interest to the international financial markets. Was born when the 2009/2010 version of the MSI 20000 standard.
