Private assets are playing a growing role in institutional portfolios. That means investors need reliable insights throughout the investment process. At MSCI, we offer an in-depth look at private capital portfolios and investments, with analytics, benchmarking and investment decision support that allow clients to view funds by vintage, asset class, geography, and a range of other metrics.

MSCI’s private capital design team is at the forefront of designing these innovative client-facing solutions, including portfolio management, transparency data, and universe analytics. These solutions help institutional investors find their edge in private capital investing, enabling streamlined asset allocation and informed decision-making.

The design team also plays a critical role in building internal tools that streamline the workflow of the data operations team within private capital solutions. These tools facilitate the entire data operations process including sourcing data directly from financial reports provided by fund managers to compiling, standardizing, and enriching data using MSCI’s private capital classification system. They directly impact MSCI’s ability to deliver high-quality data to its clients and improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the data operations team.
