Investors should be willing to forgo interest and dividend payments and, if the Index declines by more than 10%, be willing to lose some or all of their principal.
  • Senior unsecured obligations of Morgan Stanley maturing September 4, 2008.
  • Minimum purchase of $50,000. Minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
  • The notes priced on June 29, 2007 and are expected to settle on or about July 6, 2007.
Key Terms  

Basket:

Asian Equity Index Basket (the “Basket”) consisting of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 IndexSM, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the KOSPI 200 Index, the MSCI Taiwain IndexSM and the MSCI Singapore IndexSM (each a “Basket Component Index” and together the “Basket Component Indices”).

Index Weightings:

The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index weighting is 16.50%; the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index weighting is 22.00%; the KOSPI 200 Index weighting is 29.65%; the MSCI Taiwan Index weighting is 21.75%; and the MSCI Singapore Index weighting is 10.10%.

Upside Leverage Factor: 2

Payment at Maturity:

If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Initial Basket Level, you will receive a cash payment that provides you with a return per $1,000 principal amount note equal to the Basket Return multiplied by two, subject to a Maximum Total Return on the notes of 18%. For example, if the Basket Return is more than 9.0%, you will receive the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 18%, which entitles you to a maximum payment at maturity of $1,180 for every $1,000 principal amount note that you hold. Accordingly, if the Basket Return is positive, your payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows, subject to the Maximum Total Return:

 
$1,000 +[$1,000 x (Basket Return x 2)]
  Your principal is protected against up to a 10% decline of the Basket at maturity. If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Initial Basket Level by 10% or less, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity.
  If the Ending Basket Level declines from the Initial Basket Level by more than 10%, you will lose 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes for every 1% that the Basket declines below 10% of the Initial Basket Level and your final payment per $1,000 principal amount note will be calculated as follows:
 
$1,000 + [$1,000 x (Basket Return + 10%) x 1.1111]
  You will lose some or all of your investment at maturity if the Ending Basket Level declines from the Initial Basket Level by more than 10%.
Buffer Amount: 10%
Downside Factor: 1.1111

Basket Return:

The performance of the Basket from the Initial Basket Level to the Ending Basket Level, calculated as follows:

 
Ending Basket Level – Initial Basket Level
Initial Basket Level
  The Basket Return may be positive or negative.
Initial Basket Level: 100
Ending Basket Level: The arithmetic average of the Basket closing levels on each of the five Averaging Dates.
Averaging Dates: August 25, 2008, August 26, 2008, August 27, 2008, August 28, 2008 and August 29, 2008
Maturity Date: September 4, 2008
Listing: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.

What is the Total Return on the Notes at Maturity Assuming a Range of Performance for the Basket?

The following table and graph illustrate the hypothetical total return at maturity on the notes. The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 principal amount note to $1,000. The hypothetical total returns set forth below assume an Initial Basket Level of 100 and reflect the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 18%. The hypothetical total returns set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual total returns applicable to a purchaser of the notes. The numbers appearing in the following table, graph and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Total Return at Maturity

Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity

The following examples illustrate how the total returns set forth in the table and graph above are calculated.

Example 1: The level of the Basket increases from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 105. Because the Ending Basket Level of 105 is greater than the Initial Basket Level of 100 and the Basket Return of 5% multiplied by 2 does not exceed the Maximum Total Return of 18%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (5% x 2)] = $1,100

Example 2: The level of the Basket decreases from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 90. Because the Ending Basket Level of 90 is less than the Initial Basket Level of 100 by not more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount note.

Example 3: The level of the Basket increases from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 115. Because the Basket Return of 15% multiplied by 2 exceeds the Maximum Total Return of 18%, the investor receives a payment at maturity of $1,180 per $1,000 principal amount note, the maximum payment on the notes.

Example 4: The level of the Basket decreases from the Initial Basket Level of 100 to an Ending Basket Level of 80. Because the Ending Basket Level of 80 is less than the Initial Basket Level of 100 by more than the Buffer Amount of 10%, the Basket Return is negative and the investor will receive a payment at maturity of $888.89 per $1,000 principal amount note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 x (-20% + 10%) x 1.1111] = $888.89

Selected Purchase Considerations

  • APPRECIATION POTENTIAL – The notes provide the opportunity to enhance equity returns by multiplying a positive Basket Return by two, up to the Maximum Total Return on the notes of 18%, or $1,180 for every $1,000 principal amount note. Because the notes are our senior unsecured obligations, payment of any amount at maturity is subject to our ability to pay our obligations as they become due.

  • LIMITED PROTECTION AGAINST LOSS – Payment at maturity of the principal amount of the notes is protected against a decline in the Ending Basket Level, as compared to the Initial Basket Level, of up to 10%. If the Ending Basket Level declines by more than 10% of the Initial Basket Level, for every 1% decline of the Basket below 10% of the Initial Basket Level, you will lose an amount equal to 1.1111% of the principal amount of your notes.

  • DIVERSIFICATION AMONG THE BASKET COMPONENT INDICES – The return on the notes is linked to a basket consisting of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the KOSPI 200 Index, the MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index. The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index is based on the capitalization of 30 stocks actively traded on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. (the “HKSE”) and is designed to reflect the movement of the Hong Kong stock market as a whole. The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is a stock index calculated and published by FTSE Xinhua Index Limited, and is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors. It is currently based on the 25 largest and the most liquid Chinese stocks listed and trading on the HKSE.The KOSPI 200 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 200 Korean blue-chip stocks which make up a large majority of the total market value of the Korea Stock Exchange (“KSE”). The MSCI Taiwan Index,

3





    which is calculated by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (“MSCI”), is a free float-adjustedmarket capitalization index of securities listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The MSCI SingaporeIndex is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is calculated by MSCI and designed tomeasure equity market performance in Singapore. The MSCI Singapore has been calculated sinceJanuary 1, 1969. For additional information about the KOSPI 200 Index and the MSCI Taiwan Index, seethe information set forth under “Underlying Indices and Underlying Index PublishersInformation—KOSPI 200 Index” and “—MSCI Taiwan Index” in Annex A of the accompanying prospectussupplement for leveraged index-linked securities. For additional information about the AMEX HongKong 30 Index, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index and the MSCI Singapore Index, see “Annex A—AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index,” “—FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index” and “—MSCI Singapore Index” to this pricing supplement.

  • CAPITAL GAINS TAX TREATMENT – You should review carefully the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for leveraged index-linked securities, which contains the opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell, with respect to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes. Based on that opinion, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the section entitled “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement for leveraged index-linked securities, we believe that it is reasonable to treat your purchase and ownership of the notes as an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this characterization is respected, your gain or loss on the notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold the notes for more than a year, even if you are an initial purchaser of notes at a price that is below the principal amount of the notes. However, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may not respect this characterization of the notes, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the notes could be significantly and adversely affected. The risk that buffered notes would be recharacterized, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as debt instruments giving rise to ordinary income, rather than as an open transaction, is higher than with other non-principal protected equity-linked notes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the treatment of the notes, including possible alternative characterizations.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket Component Indices or any of the component stocks of the Basket Component Indices. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying prospectus supplement for leveraged index-linked securities.

  • YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES MAY RESULT IN A LOSS – The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The return on the notes at maturity is linked to the performance of the Basket and will depend on whether, and the extent to which, the Basket Return is positive or negative. Your investment will be exposed on a leveraged basis of 1.1111% to each 1% decline in the Ending Basket Level below the 10% Buffer Amount as compared to the Initial Basket Level.

  • YOUR MAXIMUM GAIN ON THE NOTES IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM TOTAL RETURN – If the Ending Basket Level is greater than the Initial Basket Level, for each $1,000 principal amount note, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus an additional amount that will not exceed the Maximum Total Return of 18% on the $1,000 principal amount, regardless of the appreciation in the Basket, which may be significant.

  • THE NOTES DO NOT PAY INTEREST – Unlike ordinary debt securities, the notes do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity.

  • NO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS OR VOTING RIGHTS – As a holder of the notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities composing the Basket Component Indices would have.

  • CERTAIN BUILT-IN COSTS ARE LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES PRIOR TO MATURITY – While the payment at maturity described in this pricing supplement is based on the full stated principal amount of your notes, the original issue price of the notes includes the agent’s commission and the cost of hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, the price, if any, at which affiliates of Morgan Stanley, will be willing to purchase notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the original issue price, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. The notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your notes to maturity.

  • THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES INDEXED TO THE VALUE OF FOREIGN EQUITY SECURITIES – The underlying stocks that constitute the Basket Component Indices have been issued by companies in various foreign countries. Investments in securities indexed to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries,

4





    including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets andcross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly availableinformation about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reportingrequirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies aresubject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from thoseapplicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities in foreign markets may be affected bypolitical, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changesin government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws. Moreover, the economies insuch countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in suchrespects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.

  • THE NOTES ARE SUBJECT TO CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK – The Basket is composed, in part, of indices which are quoted and traded in U.S. dollars and may trade differently from their underlying stock, which is quoted and traded in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between these foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may affect the U.S. dollar equivalent of the foreign currency prices of the stocks underlying these indices on their respective stock exchanges and, as a result, may affect the market price of the stocks underlying the Basket Component Indices, which may consequently affect the market value of the notes and the supplemental redemption amount, if any, you may receive at maturity of the notes.

  • ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BASKET COMPONENT INDICES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES – The American Stock Exchange LLC, the publisher of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index, is responsible for calculating and maintaining the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index. FTSE Xinhua Limited, the publisher of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, is responsible for calculating and maintaining the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. Morgan Stanley Capital International, which we refer to as MSCI, is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index. The Korea Stock Exchange, the publisher of the KOSPI 200 Index, is responsible for calculating and maintaining the KOSPI 200 Index. The publisher of any of the Basket Component Indices can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying the respective Basket Component Index, and can make other methodological changes required by certain events relating to the underlying stocks, such as stock dividends, stock splits, spin-offs, rights offerings and extraordinary dividends, that could change the value of the respective Basket Component Indices. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the notes.

  • CHANGES IN THE VALUE OF ONE OR MORE OF THE BASKET COMPONENT INDICES MAY OFFSET EACH OTHER – Price movements in the Component Basket Indices may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of one or more of the Component Basket Indices increases, the value of one or more of the other Component Basket Indices may not increase as much or may decline. Therefore, in calculating the Basket closing levels on each of the averaging dates, increases in the value of one or more of the Component Basket Indices may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser increases or declines in the value of one or more of the other Component Basket Indices. You cannot predict the future performance of any of the Component Basket Indices or of the Basket as a whole, or whether increases in the levels of any of the Component Basket Indices will be offset by decreases in the levels of other Component Basket Indices, based on their historical performance. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Ending Basket Level will be higher than 100 so that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the principal amount of the notes, or any amount at all.

  • LACK OF LIQUIDITY – The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Affiliates of Morgan Stanley intend to offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market but are not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell thenotes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price atwhich you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which affiliates of Morgan Stanley are willing to buy the notes.

  • INVESTING IN THE NOTES IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO INVESTING IN THE BASKET COMPONENT INDICES Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the Basket Component Indices or their component stocks. Because the Ending Basket Level is based on the closing level of the Basket Component Indices on the five averaging dates, it is possible for the Ending Basket Level to be lower than the Initial Basket Level even if the value of the Basket at maturity is higher than the Initial Basket Level. A decrease in the Basket value on any one averaging date could more than offset the increases in the Basket value on other averaging dates.

  • POTENTIAL CONFLICTS – We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent and hedging our obligations under the notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes.

5





  • MANY ECONOMIC AND MARKET FACTORS WILL IMPACT THE VALUE OF THE NOTES – In addition to the level of the Basket Component Indices on any day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
         
     
  • the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in price) of the Basket;
     
  • the time to maturity of the notes;
     
  • the dividend rate on the common stocks underlying the Basket Component Indices;
     
  • interest and yield rates in the U.S. and Asian markets;
     
  • geopolitical conditions and a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and
     
  • our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

    Use of Proceeds and Hedging

    Part of the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the notes will be used in connection with hedging our obligations under the notes through one or more of our subsidiaries. The hedging or trading activities of our affiliates on or prior to the pricing date and on the Averaging Dates could adversely affect the value of the Basket and, as a result, could decrease the amount you may receive on the notes at maturity.

    Historical Information

    The following graphs set forth the historical performance of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index based on the weekly index closing levels from January 4, 2002 through June 29, 2007, the KOSPI 200 Index based on the weekly index closing levels from January 6, 2002 to June 24, 2007 and of the Basket as a whole based on the daily index closing levels from January 1, 2002 through June 29, 2007. The index closing levels of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index, the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, the KOSPI 200 Index, the MSCI Taiwan Index and the MSCI Singapore Index on June 29, 2007 were 1,060.52, 19,050.96, 221.31, 352.15 and 437.16, respectively. We obtained the index closing levels below from Bloomberg Financial Markets, without independent verification. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg Financial Markets. The price sources for determining the Ending Basket Level will be the Bloomberg page “HKX” for the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index, “XIN0I” for the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, “KOSPI2” for the KOSPI 200 Index, “MXTW” for the MSCI Taiwan Index and “SGY” for the MSCI Singapore Index, or any respective successor page to any of the aforementioned pages.

    The historical levels of the Basket Component Indices should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Basket closing level on any of the Averaging Dates. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Basket will result in the return of any of your initial investment.

    AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index

    The Hong Kong 30 Index is a broad-market index that measures the composite price performance of 30 stocks actively traded on the HKSE, designed to reflect the movement of the Hong Kong stock market as a whole. The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index was established June 25, 1993 with a benchmark value of 350.00. The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index is calculated and disseminated each New York business day based on the most recent official closing price of each of the component stocks as reported by the HKSE and a fixed HK$/US$ exchange rate.

    Eligibility Standards for the Inclusion and Maintenance of Component Stocks in the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index

    The AMEX states that it selects securities comprising the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index based on their market weight, trading liquidity, and representativeness of the business industries reflected on the HKSE. The AMEX will require that each AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index component security be one issued by an entity with major business interests in Hong Kong, listed for trading on the HKSE, and have its primary trading market located in a country with which the AMEX has an effective surveillance sharing agreement. The AMEX will remove any AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index component security that fails to meet any of the foregoing listing and maintenance criteria within 30 days after such a failure occurs. To ensure that the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index does not consist of a number of thinly-capitalized, low-priced securities with small public floats and low trading volumes, the AMEX has established additional listing and maintenance criteria:

    • All component securities selected for inclusion in the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index must have, and thereafter maintain, an average daily capitalization, as calculated by the total number of shares outstanding times the latest price per share (in Hong Kong dollars), measured over the prior six month period, of at least HK$3 billion (approximately US$380 million);

    • All component securities selected for inclusion in the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index must have, and thereafter maintain, a minimum free float value (total freely tradeable outstanding shares less insider holdings), based on a monthly average measured over the prior three month period, of US$238 million, although up to, but no more than, three AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index component securities may have a free float value of less than US$238 million but in no event less than US$150 million, measured over the same period;

    • All component securities selected for inclusion in the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index must have, and thereafter maintain, an average daily closing price, measured over the prior six month period, not lower than HK$2.50 (approximately US$0.32); and

    • All component securities selected for inclusion in the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index must have, and thereafter maintain, an average daily trading volume, measured over the prior six month period, of more than one million shares per day, although up to, but no more than, three component securities may have an average daily trading volume, measured over the prior six month period, of less than one million shares per day, but in no event less than 500,000 shares per day.

    Beginning in 1994, the AMEX has reviewed the Index's component securities on a quarterly basis, conducted on the last business day in January, April, July, and October. Any component security failing to meet the above listing and maintenance criteria is reviewed on the second Friday of the second month following the quarterly review again to determine compliance with the above criteria. Any AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index component stock failing this second review is replaced by a “qualified” AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index component stock effective upon the close of business on the following Friday, provided, however, that if such Friday is not a business day, the replacement will be effective at the close of business on the first preceding business day. The AMEX will notify its membership immediately after it determines to replace an AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index component stock.

    The AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index will be maintained by the AMEX and will contain at least thirty component stocks at all times. Pursuant to Exchange Rule 901C(b), the AMEX may change the composition of the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index at any time in order to reflect more accurately the composition and track the movement of the Hong Kong stock market. Any replacement component stock must also meet the component stock listing and maintenance standards as discussed above. If the number of AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index component securities in the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index falls below thirty, no new option series based on the AMEX Hong Kong 30 Index will be listed for trading unless and until the Securities and Exchange Commission approves a rule filing pursuant to section 19(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reflecting such change.

    FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index

    The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is a stock index calculated, published and disseminated by FTSE Xinhua Index Limited (“FXI”), a joint venture of FTSE International Limited and Xinhua Financial Network Limited, and is designed to represent the performance of the mainland Chinese market that is available to international investors and includes companies that trade on the HKSE.

    General

    The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is quoted in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) and currently is based on the 25 largest and most liquid Chinese stocks (called “H-shares” and “Red Chip” shares) based on full market-capitalization value, listed and trading on the HKSE. “H-shares” are securities of companies incorporated in the People’s Republic of China and nominated by the Chinese government for listing and trading on the HKSE. H-shares are quoted and traded in HKD and U.S. dollars. “Red Chip” shares are securities of Hong Kong-incorporated companies listed and traded on the HKSE, which are substantially owned directly or indirectly by the Chinese government and have the majority of their business interests in mainland China. “Red Chip” shares are quoted and traded in HKD and are available only to international investors and not to those from the People’s Republic of China.

    Eligible Securities

    Currently, only H-shares and Red Chip shares are eligible for inclusion in the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. All classes of equity in issue are eligible for inclusion in the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, subject to certain restrictions, however, each constituent must also be a constituent of the FTSE All-World Index. Companies whose business is that of holding equity and other investments, exchange traded funds, and funds whose prices are a direct derivation of underlying holdings (e.g. mutual funds) are not eligible for inclusion. Securities must be sufficiently liquid to be traded, therefore the following criteria, among others, are used to ensure that illiquid securities are excluded:

      1.      Price. FXI must be satisfied that an accurate and reliable price exists for the purposes of determining the market value of a company. FXI may exclude a security from the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index if it considers that an “accurate and reliable” price is not available. The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index uses the last trade prices from the relevant stock exchanges, when available.
     
      2.      Liquidity. Securities in the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index will be reviewed annually for liquidity. Securities which do not turn over at least 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for ten of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review by FXI will not be eligible for inclusion in the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. An existing constituent failing to trade at least 2.0% of its shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month for more than four of the twelve months prior to the quarterly review will be removed after close of the index calculation on the next trading day following the third Friday in January, April, July and October. Any period when a share is suspended will be excluded from the calculation.
     
      3.      New Issues. New issues become eligible for inclusion in the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index at the next quarterly review of constituents, provided they have a minimum trading record of at least 20 trading days prior to the date of such review and turnover of a minimum of 2% of their shares in issue, after the application of any free float restrictions, per month each month, except in certain circumstances.

    The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, like other indices of FXI, is governed by an independent advisory committee, the FTSE Xinhua Index Committee, that ensures that the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is operated in accordance with its published ground rules, and that the rules remain relevant to the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. The FTSE Xinhua Index Committee is responsible for undertaking the review of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index and for approving changes of constituents.

    Computation of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index

    The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is calculated using the free float index calculation methodology of the FTSE Group. The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is calculated using the following algorithm:

    where “p” is the latest trade price of the component security “n”, “e” is the exchange rate required to convert the security’s home currency into the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index’s base currency, “s” is the number of shares of the security in issue, “f” is the free float factor published by FXI, applicable to such security, to be applied to the security


    12





    to allow amendments to its weighting, “c” is the capping factor published by FXI at the most recent quarterly review of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, and “d” is the divisor, a figure that represents the total issued share capital of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index at the base date, which may be adjusted to allow for changes in the issued share capital of individual securities without distorting the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index.

    The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index uses actual trade prices for securities with local stock exchange quotations and Reuters real-time spot currency rates for its calculations. Under this methodology, FXI excludes from free floating shares: (i) trade investments in a FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent company by either another FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent company or a non-constituent company or entity; (ii) significant long-term holdings by founders, directors and/or their families; (iii) employee share schemes (if restricted); (iv) government holdings; (v) foreign ownership limits; and (vi) portfolio investments subject to lock-in clauses (for the duration of the clause). Free float restrictions are calculated using available published information. The initial weighting of a FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent stock is applied in bands, as follows:

    Free float less than or equal to 15%   Ineligible for inclusion in the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, unless free float is also greater than 5% and the full market capitalization is greater than US$2.5 billion (or local currency equivalent), in which case actual free float is used.
         
    Free float greater than 15% but   20%
    less than or equal to 20%    
         
    Free float greater than 20% but   30%
    less than or equal to 30%    
         
    Free float greater than 30% but   40%
    less than or equal to 40%    
         
    Free float greater than 40% but   50%
    less than or equal to 50%    
         
    Free float greater than 50% but   75%
    less than or equal to 75%    
         
    Free float greater than 75%   100%

    These bands are narrow at the lower end, to ensure that there is sufficient sensitivity in order to maintain accurate representation, and broader at the higher end, in order to ensure that the weightings of larger companies do not fluctuate absent a significant corporate event.

    Following the application of an initial free float restriction, a FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index constituent stock’s free float will only be changed if its actual free float is more than five percentage points above the minimum or five percentage points below the maximum of an adjacent band. This five percentage point threshold does not apply if the initial free float is less than 15%. Foreign ownership limits, if any, are applied after calculating the actual free float restriction, but before applying the bands shown above. If the foreign ownership limit is more restrictive than the free float restriction, the precise foreign ownership limit is applied. If the foreign ownership limit is less restrictive or equal to the free float restriction, the free float restriction is applied, subject to the bands shown above.

    The FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index is periodically reviewed for changes in free float. These reviews coincide with the quarterly reviews undertaken of the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. Implementation of any changes takes place after the close of the index calculation on the third Friday in January, April, July and October. A stock’s free float is also reviewed and adjusted if necessary following certain corporate events. If the corporate event includes a corporate action which affects the FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index, any change in free float is implemented at the same time as the corporate action. If there is no corporate action, the change in free float is applied as soon as practicable after the corporate event.

    MSCI Singapore Index

    The MSCI Singapore Index is calculated, maintained and published by MSCI, a majority-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, and reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets. The index has been calculated since January 1, 1969. The index is calculated daily in US dollars and published in real time in Singapore Dollars, every 15 seconds during market trading hours.

    The MSCI Singapore Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in Singapore. The Index targets an 85% free float adjusted market representation level within each industry group in Singapore. The security selection process within each industry group is based on analysis of


    13





    the following:

    • Each company’s business activities and the diversification that its securities would bring to the index;

    • The size of the securities based on free float adjusted market capitalization (all other things being equal, MSCI targets for inclusion of the most sizable securities in an industry group, and securities that do not meet the minimum size guidelines are not considered for inclusion); and

    • The liquidity of the securities (MSCI targets for inclusion of the most liquid securities in an industry group; MSCI does not define absolute minimum or maximum liquidity levels for stock inclusion or exclusion from the MSCI Singapore Index but considers each stock’s relative standing within Singapore and between cycles; and only securities of companies with an estimated overall or security free float greater than 15% are generally considered for inclusion in the MSCI Singapore Index).

    There are three broad categories of MSCI Singapore Free Index maintenance: an annual full country index review that reassesses the various dimensions of the equity universe in Singapore; quarterly index reviews aimed at promptly reflecting other significant market events; and ongoing event-related changes, such as mergers and acquisitions, which are generally implemented in the index rapidly as they occur.
