You ask your asset manager how your portfolio is doing, but who does he ask? Probably MSCI. The company, formerly Morgan Stanley Capital International (and doing business as MSCI Barra), creates equity, fixed income, and hedge fund indices, and offers risk management and portfolio analysis tools for large asset management firms. The company's products are marketed under four categories: equity indices (such as MSCI), equity portfolio analytics (such as Barra Aegis), multi-asset class portfolio analytics (such as BarraOne), and other products (including FEA for energy and commodity asset valuation analytics). Financial services powerhouse Morgan Stanley owns about 30% of MSCI and controls 66% of its votes.
