On June 11, MSCI launched two products, MSCI AI Portfolio Insights and Macro Finance Analyzer. The MSCI AI Portfolio Insights product combines generative artificial intelligence or genAI with MSCI’s analytic tools and modelling technologies in a single product. This new product is designed to help investors better identify and manage potential emerging risks that markets pose to their portfolios. It also aims to deliver insights to institutional risk and portfolio managers by helping identify and analyse the most salient information in risk reports before the working day starts.
According to an MSCI press release, investors can use MSCI AI Portfolio Insights’ interactive capabilities to drill further into changes in their portfolios without any need for code or extensive user interface dropdowns.
MSCI AI Portfolio Insights leverages proprietary algorithms to curate large volumes of data, aiming to surface the most important factors impacting risk and performance and connecting them as appropriate to market events, the press release says. It also features an AI agent to help risk managers further understand and decompose the risk and performance drivers. Based on natural language interaction, the assistant can answer complex questions about portfolios.
The second product launch, the Macro Finance Analyzer, uses MSCI’s financial modelling and stress-testing capabilities. This tool is designed to test how changes to macroeconomic conditions could affect a portfolio’s risks and returns across asset classes, supporting investors’ asset allocation decisions.
