NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MSCI Inc. (NYSE:MSCI), a leading provider of critical decision support
tools and services for the global investment community, today announced
the launch of its next-generation open analytics platform MSCI Beon™.
The global investment industry relies on different sources of data and
analytics to help make strategic decisions, mitigate risk, and improve
operational efficiencies. However, data may have limited value when
trapped in separate systems. Designed in response to this challenge,
MSCI Beon is a single, open platform that harnesses advanced proprietary
technology to connect disparate sources and aims to improve
institutional investors’ current portfolio analysis capabilities,
helping make better-informed and timely decisions across the entire
investment process.
MSCI Beon will integrate MSCI’s industry-leading content and tools
across Analytics, Index, and ESG1 – including portfolio
construction, risk management, performance attribution, and reporting
solutions – with users’ data and analytics, as well as third-party
sources. The platform goes beyond data aggregation by helping users
derive meaningful insight from multiple sources at once and create and
distribute timely, interactive reports to help analyze and better
understand results in real-time.
“MSCI Beon is a truly open platform that allows users to integrate,
build and share data in a way designed to conform to the user’s needs
and preferences,” said Trent Walker, Head of Technology and Product
Manager for MSCI Beon. “Our technology aims to give users the
ability to answer increasingly complex questions and innovate as their
strategy, business model, and the broader market evolves.”
MSCI Beon also offers the ability to create custom analysis screens,
calculators, and workflows that users can tailor to fit their unique
investment process and share them across their organization. The
platform aims to provide greater efficiency and flexibility that can
help portfolio and risk managers gain deeper insight into the drivers of
risk and performance in their portfolios, scale their operations, and
expand their analytical capabilities.
“As MSCI continues its journey toward driving industry transformation,
we remain focused on delivering innovative solutions,” said Jorge
Mina, Head of Analytics. “MSCI Beon is a testament to our mission to
continuously create cutting-edge products to meet current client needs
and help them adapt to changing market conditions.”
