Introducing MSCI's New ESG Indexes for Japan

In this recording we will reveal the latest additions to MSCI’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) index family: the Japan Empowering Women (WIN) and Japan ESG Select Leaders indexes. The new indexes have been designed for institutional investors looking to integrate ESG into their investment decision-making processes.

During the recording we will highlight MSCI’s thought leadership in the ESG space, as well as explaining the key characteristics of both indexes, setting out their methodology and discussing how they could be used as part of your portfolio allocation.  The agenda will include:
