IHS Markit delivers MSCI’s multi-asset class risk and performance analytics through thinkFolio
07 December 2020
IHS Markit has formed a strategic alliance with MSCI Inc. to integrate MSCI's
portfolio and risk analytics capabilities with thinkFolio,
the leading multi-asset class investment management platform.
MSCI's analytics solutions help firms measure, decompose and
understand absolute and relative portfolio risk across asset
classes, spanning short, medium and long-term time horizons. With
its open integration framework, IHS Markit's thinkFolio allows
investment managers to incorporate proprietary and externally
sourced models, analytics and data to support the unique demands of
their investment and asset allocation processes.
Going forward, mutual clients of both firms will be able to
leverage MSCI's industry-leading analytics and multi-asset class
factor modeling capabilities within thinkFolio's decision support
and portfolio management workflows. The combination of thinkFolio's
sophisticated portfolio modelling tools and MSCI's analytics and
factor models will deliver enhanced capabilities for equity, fixed
income and alternative asset class portfolio construction and
predictive risk analyses. Through a dual integration delivered via
a hosted managed service, mutual clients will also benefit from
streamlined and synced position management across both thinkFolio
and MSCI Analytics software solutions.
"A central focus of our platform strategy is to deliver an
interoperable functionality suite for user groups driving the alpha
generation and beta replication processes," said Brett
Schechterman, Managing Director and Global Head of thinkFolio at
IHS Markit. "thinkFolio's modular and open integration framework

workbench to monitor and action investment decisions. We are
