Who are our Experts

Leverage insights from theme experts

Thematic investing requires in-depth research to build a deeper understanding of the underlying drivers of value creation and risk. In addition to our inhouse research, we work with leading experts on themes to draw on their insights and act as a sounding board. Such expert insights aid in ensuring that we capture themes as they evolve. All experts sit outside our chinese wall and are not involved in the index rebalancing. Their input is advisory only in nature. The use of any such input is at MSCI’s discretion and may or may not lead to a change to the index or index methodology.

ARK Invest
ARK’s expertise in several key themes adds significant value to the application of our existing thematic methodology framework. ARK’s team combines top-down and bottom-up research, identifying innovation and convergence across markets. They have a strong team of research analysts organized by cross-sector innovation themes.
