Our latest insights

MSCI has applied pioneering ideas to real-world investment challenges for more than four decades. We helped introduce the world to global investing in the 1960s with the creation of the first developed and emerging markets indexes.

We understand today, better than ever before, how ESG and Climate considerations can impact long-term risks and opportunities in financial markets.
