MSCI, a provider of research-based indexes and analytics, is to rename all IPD indexes and benchmarks as the MSCI Private Real Assets Indexes, effective 8 December, 2018 to mirror changes in investors’ portfolios.
Jay McNamara, Head of Real Estate at MSCI, says: “Renaming the IPD indexes allows us to provide clients with a single, clear and consistent collection of private real assets indexes, in keeping with our strategy to provide real estate investors with robust and innovative solutions.”
Each IPD index will have a new unique MSCI name that flags its attributes. The composition and calculation of the indexes and benchmarks are unaffected.
