In plain English
MSCI builds the benchmarks the investing world measures itself against. Over $16.5T in ETFs and funds tracks its indexes, and asset managers, pensions and hedge funds pay recurring fees for its Barra risk models, ESG & climate ratings and private-asset data. It sells nothing to consumers — it licenses the yardstick and takes a thin, sticky fee on the assets and analytics seats that use it, which is why ~39% of revenue drops to profit.
