MSCI Inc.

MSCI is founder-led and externally respected. Henry Fernandez (CEO & Chairman since 1998, age 66) and his management team have delivered decades of robust growth and innovation).

Fernandez is widely recognized (Barron’s 'Best CEOs' in 2019 and 2021) and the majority of executives own stock or are incentivized via equity plans (promoting an owner-operator mentality). He has successfully navigated competitive threats and expanded the business into new frontiers (ESG data, multi-asset solutions) while preserving core quality.

The Presidency of Baer Pettit and the team’s stability further strengthen confidence. Governance is solid (with experienced independent directors). The board and founder eschew short-termism in favor of long-term industry leadership. In short, this management mirrors that of other quality franchises and aligns very well with shareholder interests.
