excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

Frequently asked questions

Investment Information Tools

MSCI, an acronym for Morgan Stanley Capital International, is a provider of critical information tools for the global investment community. Founded in the late 1960s, MSCI has evolved into a company offering tools and services to institutional and retail investors worldwide, including indices, portfolio risk, performance analytics, and ESG research. Their flagship product, the MSCI indices, are among the most widely referenced in the world for investors seeking to gauge market performance in various regions, countries, and asset classes. As financial markets have become more sophisticated and interconnected, MSCI's role in providing accurate benchmarks and analytical tools has become even more vital. Through its extensive offerings, MSCI empowers investors, institutions, and other stakeholders with actionable insights for global markets.

Founding and Morgan Stanley’s Divestment

MSCI, originally known as Morgan Stanley Capital International, began as a subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, the renowned global financial services firm. MSCI was co-founded with Capital Group to provide equity indices for global markets, aiding investors in understanding and measuring market performances. Over the years, while the "Morgan Stanley" prefix in its name indicates its historical ties, MSCI has become an independent entity. In 2007, MSCI became fully independent when Morgan Stanley divested its remaining interest, culminating in an initial public offering (IPO). Today, although they share historical roots, MSCI and Morgan Stanley operate as separate, publicly-traded entities with distinct focuses and offerings.

The Indices

MSCI is globally recognized for its indices, which serve as key benchmarks for the investment community. MSCI's indices encompass a broad spectrum, capturing large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks across developed, emerging, and frontier markets. The MSCI World Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are among its most prominent offerings, used by institutional investors worldwide to gauge global equity market performance and guide asset allocation decisions. MSCI's commitment to robust research and methodology has bolstered its reputation, making its indices an essential tool for investors. By providing insights into global market trends and sector movements, MSCI's indices offer a comprehensive snapshot, assisting in investment strategy formulation and risk management. One of the most notable peers to MSCI is Standard & Poors.

Other Services
