MSCI is a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community
With over 50 years of expertise in research, data and technology, we power better investment decisions by enabling clients to understand and analyze key drivers of risk and return and confidently build more effective portfolios. We create industry-leading, research enhanced solutions that clients use to gain insight into and improve transparency across the investment process.
Our values define the working environment we strive to create. We are inclusive, we champion bold ideas, we always pursue excellence, and always act with integrity. Personal accountability and responsibility are key to success, and we always work as a team to remain client-centric.
At MSCI diversity is at our core and inclusion defines our culture. Our people are empowered to maximize their potential in an environment where all individuals are respected and encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work. We work, learn and grow together and we are committed to hiring and promoting qualified women, ethnic minorities and members of the LGBT+ community candidates, who have historically been underrepresented in financial services.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) has never been a more important business imperative than it is today. Our investors, clients, and employees demand it from us. In recent years, MSCI has greatly expanded its work in this area and we now have a robust portfolio of actions we are taking to continue cultivating a more diverse, equal and inclusive culture.
At MSCI, we provide competitive benefits programs in every region in which we do business. While our benefits plans vary in availability in our different locations, we offer a broad range of benefits that are part of the value you receive as a MSCI employee. Wherever you are with us, you will find benefits that can help ensure your health and well-being, and contribute to your financial security.
We are committed to the future sustainability and transparency of the financial markets. To that end, we create innovative products and services enabling our clients to make more informed investment decisions. We also provide investors with critical performance measurement as well as risk management data and analytics. In addition, through our environmental, social and governance (ESG) research and applications we deliver insights, analysis and tools to support investment processes which incorporate sustainability considerations. MSCI is a proud signatory to the UN-backed Principles for Investment.
We contribute to employees’ charitable giving efforts and support wellness initiatives globally. For our more than 2,600 global employees, we provide ongoing career development training and in 2015 we launched a global employee engagement initiative, Success@MSCI. We are proud that some of our largest offices, representing nearly 70% of our global headcount, have achieved LEED and BREEAM Certifications. Our U.S. based data centers follow best in class power usage effectiveness (PUE) practices, resulting in PUE that exceeds the industry average by nearly 34%.
