MSCI Launches New Combined Public & Private Equity Index (MSCI All Country Public + Private Equity Index), Calculated Using Flagship MSCI ACWI IMI (Publicly Listed Equities with $5.6 Trillion AUM) & New MSCI All Country Private Equity Index (MSCI Proprietary Dataset Of LP-Sourced Cash Flows & Valuations from Nearly 10,000 Private Equity Funds)
6th December | Hong Kong
MSCI has announced the launch of a new combined public & private equity index (MSCI All Country Public + Private Equity Index), which is calculated using the flagship MSCI ACWI IMI (Publicly listed equities with $5.6 trillion AUM) & the new MSCI All Country Private Equity Index (MSCI proprietary dataset of LP-sourced cash flows & valuations from nearly 10,000 private equity funds). Announcement (4/12/25): “MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) launched the MSCI All Country Public + Private Equity Index, an innovative daily index that combines public markets and a broad private equity view within a single, coherent framework. The launch marks a major shift in how investors can assess total equity exposures and measure performance across their portfolio. With private markets increasingly integrated into investment portfolios, private equity is becoming a core component of total portfolio allocation, contributing to diversification, long-term return potential and exposure to segments of the economy not captured by public markets. Reflecting the evolving structure of investor portfolios, this innovative index sets a new standard for tracking global equity performance across public and private markets. The index combines the flagship MSCI ACWI IMI, which represents the performance of the full opportunity set of publicly listed equities across developed and emerging markets and serves as the benchmark for approximately USD 5.6 trillion in assets under management, and the new MSCI All Country Private Equity Index, a daily measure based on MSCI’s proprietary dataset of LP-sourced cash flows and valuations from nearly 10,000 private equity funds. This integrated approach allows the index to reflect both the investable public equity universe and modelled private equity exposures in a consistent global equity framework. Powered by MSCI’s combined index expertise and research and data capabilities, the MSCI All Country Public + Private Equity Index methodology is designed to provide transparency and a consistent approach for index construction, maintenance and rebalancing aligned with MSCI’s index design principles. The index, with a target allocation to private equity set to 15%, is calculated daily based on the drifted weight and the daily performance of each component index. The index is reviewed and rebalanced quarterly to maintain consistency with the target allocation weights. In each review, the latest available component index data are incorporated, and the weighting factors are reset to the target allocation. Rebalancing is conducted in accordance with MSCI’s index maintenance policies providing continuity and comparability over time. The launch reflects MSCI’s broader commitment to equipping investors with tools, research and data required to support informed decision-making across their portfolios.

The MSCI data is from 1,500+ private capital funds.

5th September – MSCI has launched the Private Credit Factor Model for investors to analyse risk across private credit strategies, allowing investors to 1) Assess credit exposures via scenario analysis & stress testing, 2) Use MSCI proprietary estimation & mapping techniques for private credit illiquidity, lagged valuations & sparse pricing and 3) Integrate private credit into total portfolio risk reporting. The MSCI data is from 1,500+ private capital funds. Announcement (3/9/25): “MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) launched a Private Credit Factor Model to help investors overcome the lack of transparency in the asset class and better assess the long-term risks it presents in their overall portfolios. As investors continue to increase their allocations to the private credit market, they face a critical challenge: A lack of data and insights into their investments can obscure their view of risks of private investments within the context of their total portfolio. Over the past decade the explosive growth in private credit, driven by investors’ search for yield and structural shifts in capital markets, has outpaced the tools needed to manage it. And institutional investors such as pension funds are being asked by plan participants, boards and other stakeholders to shed light on these often-opaque assets. Designed to address these challenges, the Private Credit Factor Model integrates private credit into the systematic, factor-based framework that forms the basis of modern portfolio management. Powered by MSCI’s award-winning analytics and cross-asset modeling capabilities, the model offers institutional investors a consistent, integrated view of risk across public and private markets. These insights draw on MSCI’s Private Assets Universe data – one of the most extensive and highest quality sets of cashflow and valuations data in the private markets industry … .. Available through MSCI’s Analytics platform, the model enables risk teams to: 1) Decompose risk across private credit strategies, including corporate lending and asset-backed debt, using region- and strategy-specific factors that capture market, structural, and idiosyncratic drivers of risk. 2) Assess how private credit exposures respond to macroeconomic shocks and shifting credit conditions — and understand their impact on total portfolio risk through scenario analysis and stress testing. 3) Model private credit exposures despite limited data availability, using MSCI’s proprietary estimation and mapping techniques to address illiquidity, lagged valuations and sparse pricing. 4) Integrate private credit into total portfolio risk reporting to support investment decisions, board level oversights, risk budgeting and strategic asset allocation … … Powered by data from over 1,500 private capital funds, the Private Credit Factor Model leverages the MSCI Private Capital Solutions taxonomy, providing detailed classification across region, strategy, and capital structure. This unique foundation of data gives investors a first-of-its-kind lens into the structural and behavioral traits of private credit. By uncovering both systemic and idiosyncratic risks, the model enhances portfolio construction and sharpens stress testing, bringing private credit in line with the standards applied to public markets. The model is part of MSCI’s expanding suite of private credit analytics, which are designed to help investors measure, manage and benchmark the asset class’s risk. The Private Credit Factor Model compliments the MSCI | Moody’s Private Credit Risk Assessment tool, which focuses on default and loss probabilities and provides investors with a view on private credit’s long-term volatility and correlation with other asset classes. The launch of the Private Credit Factor Model also represents the latest enhancement to MSCI’s multi-asset class analytics suite, which is available through MSCI Barra One.”
Luke Flemmer, Head of Private Assets at MSCI: “Private credit requires enhanced analytical tools and insights as it plays an increasingly important role in diversified investment portfolios. By bringing transparency and consistency to private credit risk, MSCI’s model supports smarter decision-making and enables investors to better understand how these assets contribute to overall portfolio risk and resilience.”
Jorge Mina, Head of Analytics at MSCI: “MSCI is continuing to expand the boundaries of risk modeling across asset classes. Our platform is built to help risk teams not only keep pace with the growing complexity of their portfolios, but also deliver strategic insight to their investment teams. The addition of the private credit factor model underscores our commitment to evolving with client needs and enabling a holistic understanding of risk in today’s multi-asset world.”
