MSCI: Diversification in Non-ETF Passive Investments As A Pivotal Growth Lever! 

MSCI Inc., a key provider of decision support tools and services, reported robust first-quarter financial results for 2025. The company achieved organic revenue growth of 10%, adjusted EBITDA growth of 11%, and an adjusted earnings per share increase of nearly 14%. These results were driven by strong performance across various client segments and product lines. Despite these promising figures, MSCI faced challenges in new recurring subscription sales, which were down compared to the first quarter of 2024. However, asset-based fee revenue grew impressively by 18%, reflecting robust growth in both ETF and non-ETF assets under management (AUM) linked to MSCI indices.
