MSCI World
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Short description
The MSCI World is a widely followed global stock market index that tracks the performance of around 1,500 large and mid-cap companies across 23 developed countries.[1][2] It is maintained by MSCI, formerly Morgan Stanley Capital International, and is used as a common benchmark for global stock funds intended to represent a broad cross-section of global markets.
The index includes a collection of stocks of all the developed markets in the world, as defined by MSCI. The exclusion of stocks from emerging and frontier economies makes the index less worldwide than the name suggests. A related index, the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI), incorporates both developed and emerging countries. MSCI also produces a Frontier Markets index, including another 31 markets.[3]
The MSCI World Index has been calculated since 1969,[4] in various forms: without dividends (Price Index), with net or with gross dividends reinvested (Net and Gross Index), in US dollars, Euro and local currencies.
