MSCI Inc. . formerly MSCI Barra, is a US-based provider of equity, fixed income, and hedge fund stock market indexes, and equity portfolio analysis tools.
It publishes the MSCI BRIC, MSCI World and MSCI EAFE Indexes.
In 1968, the Capital International Indices which covered global stock market indexes for non-U.S. markets were published. In 1986, Morgan Stanley licensed the rights to the indexes from Capital International. It branded the indexes as the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) indexes. By the 1980s, the MSCI indexes were the primary benchmark indexes outside of the US before being joined by FTSE, Citibank and Standard & Poor's. After Dow Jones started float weighting its index funds, MSCI followed. In 2004, MSCI acquired Barra, Inc., to form MSCI Barra. The company is headquartered in New York City.
The company used eight factors in developing its indexes: momentum, volatility, value, size, growth, size nonlinearity, liquidity and financial leverage.
The MSCI global equity indexes have been calculated since 1969 and include MSCI World and MSCI EAFE.

The MSCI World is a stock market index of 1,612 'world' stocks. It is maintained by MSCI Inc., formerly Morgan Stanley Capital International, and is used as a common benchmark for 'world' or 'global' stock funds. The index includes a collection of stocks of all the developed markets in the world, as defined by MSCI. The index includes securities from 23 countries but excludes stocks from emerging and frontier economies making it less worldwide than the name suggests. A related index, the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI), incorporated both developed and emerging countries. MSCI also produces a Frontier Markets index, including another 31 markets.

Morgan Stanley analysts are initiating coverage of MSCI Inc. (NYSE:MXB) with an overweight rating and $38 price target for 2011. Analysts Suzanne Stein, Vance Edelson and Toni Kaplan said, "This is the first time we are rating MXB OW, and it is one of our top picks in our business services coverage universe. We base our OW rating on the increased potential for scalability following the RISK merger, reduced need for further significant investment in analytics (which was a major concern of ours when we initiated in December), stabilization of retention rates and an attractive valuation. At its current price of $29.42, or 29% below our price target, we believe this is a good entry point for investors."
