    May 12 (Reuters) - U.S. index provider MSCI announced 
changes to a number of its index funds on Thursday, including

    Additions to that group included Tyson Foods, Edwards 
Lifesciences and Equinix, the three largest.  
    MSCI also added significantly to its China A Index,

P&I data as of December 2014. 
    Additionally the MSCI World Index will add ABN Amro Group, 
Hydro One and Schaeffler.  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index will 
add three stocks, LG Household and Healthcare-Preferred, Bajaj
