MSCI Emerging Markets Index

Emerging markets have long captured the imagination of investors and continue to transform the global investment landscape. Since the launch of our pioneering Index in 1988, allocations to these emerging economies have proved both rewarding and challenging. At MSCI, we strive to bring transparency to these dynamic yet disparate economies. Together, our rigorous research, high quality data, analytics, and decision-support tools aim to help our clients assess risk, manage portfolios more efficiently and deliver better outcomes for their stakeholders.
