Why MSCI Real Assets?

Why Real Assets?

As an investment asset class, real assets encompass tangible assets such as real estate and infrastructure.

Unlike regularly priced stocks and bonds, real assets are more illiquid and opaque, and have inherent physical worth.

With a rich history of bringing clarity and consistency to the complex, MSCI is well placed to drive industry transparency in the real assets space and power more informed decision making across the real assets investment process – from due diligence and transaction intelligence, to supporting the inclusion and measurement of real assets as part of a multi asset class investment strategy.
