Börsenlexikon: MSCI

The MSCI World Index is one of the world's most important stock indices. It is calculated by the US financial services provider Morgan Stanley Capital International in three variants: as a price index (Price), as a performance index excluding withholding taxes (Gross) and as a performance index including withholding taxes (Net). As a rule, the price index is published. The index contains over 6,000 shares from 24 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The MSCI World has been calculated since 31 December 1969 (starting value: 100 points). Shares from developing countries (emerging markets) and shares of small companies (small caps) are not included. Its counterpart is the MSCI - Emerging Markets Index, which reflects the performance of equities in the emerging markets. An index that takes into account developed countries and developing countries including small companies is the MSCI All Country World Investable Market Index (ACWI IMI), with around 8,500 securities from 45 countries.
