MSCI has been a big beneficiary of the shift to passive investments, and it should continue to benefit as long as investors favor ETFs and other low-cost index-based products over actively managed funds.
Institutional investors prefer to work with asset managers that license benchmarks aligned with their mandates, which represents a substantial switching cost advantage for MSCI's indexes.
MSCI's push to become the standard for investing based on ESG criteria should provide the next leg of growth for the firm's index- and risk-based products.
