New York City-based MSCI Inc. launched 15 new fixed income indexes on Tuesday.
The MSCI Fixed Income ESG Indexes and MSCI Fixed Income Factor Indexes include two ESG indexes, one issuance-weighted index and 12 factor-based indexes.
“Investors are increasingly demanding ESG integration across all asset classes and looking to factors – such as carry, quality, value, size and risk – to more precisely define how they can better identify, measure and manage risk and return in their portfolios,” said Jana Haines, head of index products, Americas, MSCI, in a release.
