Index Governance and Policy
Standard & Poor's leads a Global Advisory Panel that meets at least once a year to consult on all major methodological issues impacting the S&P Global Indices, including the S&P Emerging Market Index series. The panel members are made up of a diverse group of users and interested parties, including highly acclaimed academics, plan sponsors, and consultants, as well as industry leading active and passive investment managers. This medium serves to provide feedback to Standard & Poor's from market participants in an unbiased, professional manner, allowing S&P to continuously evolve its index methodology as required.
