In today's cost-conscious environment, outsourcing non-core activities to experienced third parties is becoming increasingly common as companies look to reduce their operational support costs. Managed Services provides a range of cost effective services to support various MSCI products and a convenient way for clients to delegate data processing, system administration and report generation, leaving them free to focus on their investment analysis.

Run by a dedicated global team of trained Operations Specialists, our Managed Services team manages the client data workflow process. When the client's portfolio data is received by MSCI, our Operations Specialists process the portfolio data incorporating client defined proxy rules* for rejected instruments so that the data load is complete and arrange for all batch analytics reports and position diagnostic logs to be securely delivered to the client in a timely manner.

Clients can use Managed Services to help them with:

  • Cost Control - Managed Services can help reduce overhead costs of client by providing an efficient alternative to in-house data processing and report creation management.
  • Security - Each client has its own secure production environment and all transfers of data to and from the client are performed in a secure environment.
  • Reliability - Managed Services draws on MSCI’s robust infrastructure and a dedicated global team of experts to comply with data processing delivery deadlines.
  • Expertise - MSCI has over a decade of experience in providing data and report management services.

* Common examples of when these proxy rules would be applied include invalid holding format, corporate actions, and missing terms and conditions data.
