JP Morgan reduces India, weighting in emerging market indexes starting in 2026

According to Zee Business Report, JP Morgan will reduce weighting for India and China in its widely tracked emerging markets (EM) bond index. The move could turn foreign investors to smaller economies. Global Financial Services majors say the changes will take effect from the first half of 2026.

According to JP Morgan, the maximum limit for any large issuer in the EM index will be reduced from 10% to 9%. This reduction is intended to limit the dominance of larger markets such as India and China and ensure greater representation for smaller countries in the benchmark.
