MSCI History

uniquely India/Getty Images

The MSCI Indexes are a measurement of stock market performance in a particular area. Like other indexes , such as the Dow Jones Averages or the S&P 500, it tracks the performance of the stocks included in the index. 

MSCI Indexes are used as the base for exchange-traded funds . The ETF duplicates the Index's stock holdings. That allows investors to profit from gains in the Index.

Similarly, Indexes are also the benchmarks that actively managed mutual funds use as bases. The exchange-traded funds follow the MSCI Indexes. Managed mutual funds try to outperform them by picking better stocks.

MSCI selects stocks for its equity indexes that are easily traded and have high liquidity. The stocks must have active investor participation and be without owner restrictions. MSCI must balance accuracy and efficiency. It must include enough stocks to represent the underlying equity market. At the same time, it can't have so many stocks that ETFs and mutual funds can't mimic the index.

Each Index sums up the total value of all stocks' market capitalization. That's the stock price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares.   The S&P 500, but not the Dow, uses the same methodology. Market caps are calculated in both U.S. dollars and in local currency. That gives you an idea of how the index is doing without the impact of exchange rates.  

Each index is updated daily, Monday through Friday. Additionally, each index is reviewed quarterly and rebalanced twice a year.   That's when its manager adds or subtracts stocks to make sure the index still accurately reflects the composition of the underlying equity market it measures.

For that reason, MSCI Indexes have the power to change the market. When an index is rebalanced, all the ETFs and mutual funds that track it must buy and sell the same stocks. Stocks that are added to the index usually find their share prices rising. The opposite happens to stocks that are dropped from an index.

MSCI has indexes for a variety of geographic sub-areas, as well as global indexes for stock categories such as small-cap, large-cap, and mid-cap. The four most popular track emerging markets, frontier markets, developed markets excluding the United States and Canada, and the world market.  

The Emerging Markets Index tracks the performance of stock markets in the following 26 developing countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates.   The MSCI Kuwait Index will be included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index beginning November 2020.  

In June 2017, MSCI Inc. announced it was adding over 200 China A-shares. Those shares are listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen and denominated in yuan.   As a result, all exchange-traded funds that track the MSCI index were forced to add those shares.

Saudi Arabia is also included in the Gulf Cooperation Council Country Index.  

The index compiles the market capitalization of all companies that are listed in these countries' stock markets.   The index is considered a good measurement of the stock performance of emerging markets.

The Frontier Markets Index tracks the stock markets of countries which are even more volatile than emerging markets. It was created in 2007. The countries in the Index are Bahrain, Bangladesh, Croatia, Estonia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lithuania, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Sri Lanka, Tunisia, and Vietnam. That also includes the West African Economic and Monetary Union. It consists of the following countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo. Currently, the MSCI WAEMU Indexes include securities classified in Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso.

The following frontier countries are in their own standalone country indexes. They aren't included in the Frontier Market Index: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bulgaria, Iceland, Jamaica, Malta, Palestine, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe.   

Frontier markets can also very profitable since they have lots of room for growth. The main risk is that they are very thinly traded. This makes them difficult to sell if the economy deteriorates. It also means they can more easily be manipulated by hedge funds. You need to understand the countries, their political systems, and their economic challenges. These countries are vulnerable to global shifts in trade, currency, and central bank policy changes.

The EAFE Index measures developed markets excluding the United States and Canada. EAFE stands for Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. It covers 85% of the market capitalization in each of the countries.

The MSCI EAFE Index consists of the following developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.  

MSCI World Index 

The World Index measures the market performance of large and mid-cap companies that have a global presence. It is often quoted by financial media to describe how the world's stock market is doing. It excludes stocks from emerging market countries, so it should be considered a developed world index.

It includes the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.

The MSCI AC World Index includes all the countries in the World and Emerging Markets Indexes. "AC" stands for "All Country."

In 1968, Morgan Stanley published the Capital International Indexes. These were the first indexes for markets outside of the United States. The MSCI Developed Market Indexes were published the following year.

It took almost 20 years, until 1987, for the Emerging Markets Index to be published. In 1996, MSCI published the All Country Indexes for developing markets and emerging markets.

On July 2, 1998, MSCI Inc. was incorporated.   In addition to the indexes, it provides services that analyze risk and return for various markets. Its competitors are Axioma Inc., BlackRock Solutions, Bloomberg Finance L.P., CME Group Inc., CME Group Services LLC, FactSet Research Systems Inc., London Stock Exchange Group PLC, S&P Global Inc., and WisdomTree and Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

In 2007, MSCI launched the Global Islamic Index and the Factor Indexes. Since 2010, it has launched several new indexes each year.

Accordingly, constituents in MSCI equity indexes may include MSCI Inc., clients of MSCI or suppliers to MSCI. Inclusion of a security within an MSCI index is not a recommendation by MSCI to buy, sell, or hold such security, nor is it considered to be investment advice.

MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI): Definition and Countries

What Is the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI)?

The MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) is a stock index designed to track broad global equity-market performance. Maintained by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), the index comprises the stocks of nearly 3,000 companies from 23 developed countries and 24 emerging markets as of Dec. 29, 2023.

Fund managers use the MSCI ACWI as a guide for asset allocation and a benchmark for the performance of global equity funds. The index is also used as the basis for creating investment products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Key Takeaways

• The MSCI ACWI is a stock index that tracks nearly 3,000 stocks in 47 developed and emerging market countries.
• Approximately $4.3 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the index as of June 30, 2023.
• The MSCI ACWI index is used as a benchmark for global equity funds and as a guide to asset allocation.
• Individual investors can gain access to the index through ETFs that replicate its performance.

Understanding the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI)

Investors can diversify their portfolio holdings in many ways. A portfolio manager or investor can purchase a range of individual stocks that have a low or negative correlation with each other.

On the other hand, a less costly and more efficient way to invest might be to own ETFs replicating the performance of an index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) or the S&P 500 index . For investors who also want to have exposure to global stocks, the MSCI ACWI index can be a good option.

Institutional investors, including those who manage mutual funds and pension funds, can use the MSCI ACWI as a benchmark to measure the performance of their portfolios and a guide to geographical diversification. Individual investors can also use the ACWI as a benchmark to compare which funds have the best risk-adjusted returns .

Country and Sector Weightings

As of Dec. 29, 2023, the countries representing the highest allocation for the MSCI ACWI index are the U.S. (62.57%), Japan (5.4%), China (3.62%), the United Kingdom (3.55%), and France (2.9%). Below are the weightings for each sector.

• Information Technology: 22.93%
• Financials: 15.92%
• Healthcare: 11.24%
• Consumer Discretionary: 11.08%
• Industrials: 10.65%
• Communication Services: 7.34%
• Consumer Staples: 6.76%
• Energy: 4.54%
• Materials: 4.53%
• Utilities: 2.62%
• Real Estate: 2.38%

Top 10 Holdings

Below are the top 10 holdings by their portfolio weighting within the index as of Dec. 29, 2023:

• Apple Inc: 4.47%
• Microsoft Corp: 3.95%
• Amazon.com: 2.10%
• Nvidia: 1.82%
• Alphabet A: 1.23%
• Meta Platforms A: 1.17%
• Alphabet C: 1.09%
• Tesla: 1.06%
• Broadcom: 0.74%
• JPMorgan Chase: 0.73%

The top 10 holdings represent 18.36% of the weighting for the index.

How to Invest in the MSCI ACWI Index: iShares MSCI ACWI ETF

Investors can't buy an index directly, such as the MSCI ACWI, since it's designed to represent a measurement of performance and characteristics of various sectors, countries, and equity holdings.

Instead, investors can buy an ETF that tracks or mirrors the composition and performance of the index. One of the ETFs that track and invest in the MSCI ACWI index is BlackRock's iShares MSCI ACWI ETF, which has nearly $18.3 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of Jan. 18, 2024.

The ETF owns the stocks of 2,340 holdings from the index and has an expense ratio of 0.32% as of Jan. 18, 2024. The expense ratio represents the cost to investors for BlackRock to manage the fund.

The iShares ETF has the same sectors and all but one of the top 10 holdings (Eli Lilly instead of JPMorgan) with nearly the same portfolio weightings as the MSCI ACWI index as of Jan. 18, 2024. Below is the fund's performance versus the MSCI ACWI index as of Dec. 31, 2023.

Alternatives to the MSCI ACWI for Global Equities

An investor seeking to diversify their portfolio geographically could invest a portion of their funds in an ETF that tracks the MSCI ACWI All Cap Index, which has more than 15,000 equity holdings from 23 developed markets and 24 emerging markets. This would provide exposure to a wide range of global stocks but include many more small and mid-cap stocks.

It's important to note that investors should be aware that an index containing foreign equities might also contain U.S. stocks. As a result, investors should monitor whether they'd be overexposed to U.S. equities if they have already allocated a significant portion of their portfolio to U.S. stocks. Please consult a qualified financial advisor to determine the best asset allocation strategy for your investment needs and long-term financial goals.

How Do You Invest in the MSCI ACWI Index?

You cannot directly invest in the MSCI ACWI index because it is only an index, not a fund. You can, however, invest in funds that track the index, such as the iShares MSCI ACWI ETF. You can purchase this ETF as you would any other stock or ETF through your brokerage account.

What Is the Difference Between the MSCI ACWI Index and the MSCI World Index?

While both the MSCI ACWI and the MSCI World indexes provide investors with exposure to multiple countries and over 1,000 equity holdings, the key difference is that the world index focuses only on developed markets while the ACWI index focuses on both developed and emerging markets.

Does the MSCI ACWI Include China?

Yes, the MSCI ACWI index does include shares from China. In 2019, MSCI decided to increase its index weights in China.

For investors looking to gain exposure to both domestic and international markets and a large number of companies, funds that track the MSCI All Country World Index will provide that access. The index covers developed and emerging countries, for a total of almost 50 nations, allowing for extreme diversification.

The calculation of indexes and index returns may deviate from the stated methodology. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the index or Index Linked Investments.

MicroStrategy, Indian Companies Among Additions to MSCI Indexes

(Reuters) -Index provider MSCI will count U.S. bitcoin investor MicroStrategy among 42 additions to its widely tracked world index while more firms from India join its emerging markets index, following a quarterly review.

They are closely watched as billions of dollars invested in exchange-traded funds track MSCI indexes and they are used as a performance benchmark for fund managers.

In total, there are 42 securities to be added and 121 cut from the all-country world index.

The three largest additions will be U.S. companies: software firm and bitcoin investor MicroStrategy, data storage company Pure Storage and mechanical and electrical construction firm Emcor.

"All represent the direction of new economy development," said Kenny Ng, a strategist at China Everbright Securities International in Hong Kong.

MSCI reviews its indexes to reflect moves in market value of constituents, among other factors. The changes, which will take effect at market close on May 31, usually drive a spike in turnover.

Traders are alert this time for possible disruption as the rebalance falls only a few days after the U.S. shortens its stock-trading settlement cycle from two days to one on May 28.

Elsewhere, India's Canara Bank, Indonesian chemical firm Chandra Asri Pacific and Indian power generator JSW Energy will be the three largest additions to the MSCI emerging markets index.

The three largest additions to the frontier markets index will be Kazakhstan carrier Air Astana, Croatia's electrical-equipment maker Koncar Distributivni I and Romanian telco Digi Communications.

New York-based MSCI said it will add six and delete 70 securities from the China A Onshore Index. The three largest additions will be steel manufacturer CITIC Pacific Special Steel, energy firm CNOOC and forklift manufacturer Hangcha Group.

The company said foreign listings will become eligible for the MSCI Sweden Indexes starting from the November quarterly index review as the market has met the foreign listing materiality requirements.

MSCI will also resume review of Egyptian and Kenyan securities after hearing from market participants that liquidity and foreign exchange access had improved there.

Special treatment for equities listed in Bangladesh in the MSCI indexes will remain due to accessibility issues, MSCI said.
