New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$5.9m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Negative equity (-US$2.8b). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$5.9m sold).

MSCI Surpasses Q1 Forecasts With 14% Revenue Growth on AI Momentum and Acquisitions MSCI reported Q1 2026 revenue of US$850.8m, up 14.1% year on year, with adjusted EPS of US$4.55, both above Wall Street expectations.
Organic revenue growth of more than 13% was supported by broad-based subscription gains across Index, Analytics and Private Capital Solutions, plus record inflows into equity ETFs linked to MSCI indexes.
The company completed three bolt-on acquisitions, including Compass Financial Technologies, and highlighted AI-driven product development and operations as key contributors to revenue growth and efficiency, while reaffirming full-year 2026 guidance.
For investors, the key takeaway is that MSCI is seeing growth across several core lines at the same time. Index-linked ETF inflows, recurring subscriptions and newer areas such as Private Capital Solutions all contributed, which indicates a business that is not relying on a single revenue lever. The reaffirmed 2026 guidance indicates that management is comfortable with how the year is tracking so far, even with pressure in sustainability, climate products and real assets.
MSCI is also leaning heavily into AI, both in client-facing products and internal processes. Management links this to faster product launches and improved efficiency. The recent acquisitions, including Compass Financial Technologies, expand indexing and private capital capabilities and may help MSCI address more specialized client needs over time. When evaluating MSCI, it can be useful to focus on the durability of its subscription base, the trajectory of ETF-linked inflows, and how successfully new AI and custom index offerings are being adopted across regions such as Asia Pacific.

MSCI Launches Breakthrough Index Integrating Public Markets and Private Equity MSCI Inc. launched the MSCI All Country Public + Private Equity Index, an innovative daily index that combines public markets and a broad private equity view within a single, coherent framework. The launch marks a major shift in how investors can assess total equity exposures and measure performance across their portfolio. With private markets increasingly integrated into investment portfolios, private equity is becoming a core component of total portfolio allocation, contributing to diversification, long-term return potential and exposure to segments of the economy not captured by public markets. Reflecting the evolving structure of investor portfolios, this index sets a new standard for tracking global equity performance across public and private markets. The index combines the MSCI ACWI IMI, which represents the performance of the full opportunity set of publicly listed equities across developed and emerging markets and serves as the benchmark for approximately USD 5.6 trillion in assets under management1, and the new MSCI All Country Private Equity Index, a daily measure based on MSCI's proprietary dataset of LP-sourced cash flows and valuations from nearly 10,000 private equity funds. This integrated approach allows the index to reflect both the investable public equity universe and modelled private equity exposures in a consistent global equity framework. Powered by MSCI's combined index expertise and research and data capabilities, the MSCI All Country public + Private Equity Index methodology is designed to provide transparency and a consistent approach for index construction, maintenance and rebalancing aligned with MSCI's index design principles. The index, with a target allocation to private equity set to 15%, is calculated daily based on the drift weight and the daily performance of each component index. The index is reviewed and rebalanced quarterly to maintain consistency with the target allocation weights. In each review, the latest available component index data are incorporated, and the weighting factors are reset to the target allocation. Realancing is conducted in accordance with MSCI's index maintenance policies providing continuity and comparability over time. The launch reflects MSCI's broader commitment to equipping investors with tools, research and data required to support informed decision-making across their portfolios. As of June 30, 2025. Active institutional AUM includes separate/segregated AUM, pooled/commingled AUM and mutual fund institutional AUM. Active retail funds include open-ended funds, closed-ended funds and insurance product funds. AUM also includes indexed assets and the notional open interest in futures and options, based on internal MSCI data. For funds that did not report AUM as of June 30, 2025, prior period values were used as estimates. Anuncio • Nov 17

MSCI Inc Launches Private Credit Factor Model to Bring Transparency to Rapidly Growing Asset Class MSCI Inc. launched a Private Credit Factor Model to help investors overcome the lack of transparency in the asset class and better assess the long-term risks it presents in their overall portfolios. As investors continue to increase their allocations to the private credit market, they face a critical challenge: A lack of data and insights into their investments can obscure their view of risks of private investments within the context of their total portfolio. Over the past decade the explosive growth in private credit, driven by investors' search for yield and structural shifts in capital markets, has outpaced the tools needed to manage it. And institutional investors such as pension funds are being asked by plan participants, boards and other stakeholders to shed light on these often-opaque assets. Designed to address these challenges, the Private Credit Factor Model integrates private credit into the systemic, factor-based framework that forms the basis of modern portfolio management. Powered by MSCI's analytics and cross-asset modeling capabilities, the model offers institutional investors a consistent, integrated view of risk across public and private markets. These insights draw on MSCI's Private Assets Universe data - one of the most extensive and highest quality sets of cashflow and valuations data in the private markets industry. Available through MSCI's Analytics platform, the model enables risk teams to: Decompose risk across private credit strategies, including corporate lending and asset-backed debt, using region- and strategy-specific factors that capture market, structural, and idiosyncratic drivers of risk. Assess how private credit exposures respond to macroeconomic shocks and shifting credit conditions -- and understand their impact on total portfolio risk through scenario analysis and stress testing. Model private credit exposures despite limited data availability, using MSCI's proprietary estimation and mapping techniques to address illiquidity, lagged valuations and sparse pricing. Integrate private credit into total portfolio risk reporting to support investment decisions, board level insights, risk budgeting and strategic asset allocation. Powered by data from over 1,500 private capital funds, the Private Credit Factor Model leverages the MSCI Private Capital Solutions taxonomy, providing detailed classification across region, strategy, and capital structure. This unique foundation of data gives investors a first-of-its-kind lens into the structural and behavioral traits of private credit. By uncovering both systemic and idiosyncratic risks, the model enhances portfolio construction and sharpens stress testing, bringing private credit in line with the standards applied to public markets. The model is part of MSCI's expanding suite of private credit analytics, which are designed to help investors measure, manage and benchmark the asset class's risk. The Private Credit Factor Model compliments the MSCI | Moody's Private Credit Risk Assessment tool, which focuses on default and loss probabilities and provides investors with a view on private credit's long-term volatility and correlation with other asset classes. The addition of the private credit factor model underscores commitment to evolving with client needs and enabling a holistic understanding of risk in today's multi-asset world. The launch of the Private Credit Factor Model also represents the latest enhancement to MSCI's multi-asset class analytics suite, which is available through MSCI Barra One. Upcoming Dividend • Aug 08

MSCI Inc. Advances Private Markets Strategy with New Solutions Built for General Partners MSCI Inc. has launched two new data and analytics solutions, Private Asset and Deal Metrics and Real Capital Analytics (RCA) Funds, designed to provide General Partners (GPs) with deeper insights and enhanced investor engagement capabilities, enabling them to develop more effective strategies for capital formation and deployment across private asset and commercial real estate markets. Private Asset and Deal Metrics is built on private company and deal-level data from more than 26,000 private equity buyout deals representing $2 trillion in net asset value1. The solution enables GPs to benchmark performance, validate investment themes and engage Limited Partners (LPs) with greater confidence. RCA Funds delivers global intelligence on institutional real estate funds. It draws on commercial real estate profiles of over 1,600 GPs and 800 LPs and data on more than 8,000 real-estate funds2. The solution supports GPs' fundraising by providing deep insights into LP investment criteria and also helps them strengthen investor relationships through transparent fund performance for better reporting. In the recent MSCI General Partner Survey, more than half of respondents said that they face difficulties finding attractive deals, while one third identified fundraising and capital flows as their top challenges. As GPs navigate this complex and increasingly competitive environment, these new solutions are designed to address critical gaps in data transparency, benchmarking and decision-making capabilities across the full capital investment lifecycle. While MSCI continues to introduce innovative and tech-enabled solutions that serve the needs of all types of private market practitioners, these launches build on the firm's ongoing commitment to supporting the GP community. These new solutions expand MSCI's dedicated suite of products aimed at GPs, including Private Capital Intel, which allows clients to benchmark performance against one of the largest pools of private capital data with extensive coverage of historical profiles sourced directly from LPs, and the recent partnership with Intapp to deliver enhanced private capital market intelligence.

MSCI Inc. Expands Private Assets Toolkit with Launch of Indexes Tracking Venture-Backed Companies MSCI Inc. has launched two MSCI All Country Venture-Backed Private Company Indexes, advancing the firm's commitment to empowering investors with clear, transparent insights on the performance of private assets globally. With these indexes, MSCI is applying decades of index construction expertise to calculate the performance of venture-backed private company shares based on secondary market transaction data. Private companies that receive funding from venture capital investors often operate in high-growth, technology-driven industries that have garnered growing interest from investors and wealth managers in recent years. While such companies do not trade on centralized exchanges, over-the-counter secondary markets play a key role in providing liquidity and facilitating price discovery. Venture-backed companies are staying private for longer periods, with the number of publicly listed companies in the US dropping by nearly half between 1996 and 2022.1 The number of private venture-backed companies with valuations of more than USD 1 billion has also grown tenfold in the last decade.2 These trends have simultaneously grown the asset class and expanded the availability of market-based pricing data, enabling MSCI to develop the MSCI All Country venture-Backed Private Company Top 20 Equal Weighted Vintage Index and theMSCI All Country Venture-Backed private companies worldwide with secondary market activity may be eligible for inclusion in the indexes. In constructing and calculating the indexes, MSCI uses secondary market data sourced from specialist firms Caplight and PM Insights. Both firms operate broker contributor networks to collect and analyze data across a broad cross-section of market participants. Leveraging this secondary market data, MSCI applies a research-driven, rules-based methodology focused on trading activity, size and other parameters. These two new index solutions are the first offered by MSCI that seek to measure the performance of private markets at the company level. In addition to these new offerings, MSCI also calculates the MSCI Private Capital Indexes. Launched in July 2024, the MSCI Private capital Indexes provide closed-end fund-level performance. They are constructed from a broad universe of private capital funds with over USD 11 trillion in capitalization. Anuncio • Apr 23
