MSCI's range of 14 indexes gives investors a rules-based view of the investable AI value chain, from broad market exposure to granular component-level exposures.
The Indexes let investors do three things: assess exposure at the layer or component level, align positioning with their investment view and act quickly when a bottleneck emerges anywhere in the value chain.

Markets in Focus: A crowded trade unwinds, but the AI growth story does not
