MSCI Factor Indexes

MSCI Factor Indexes are tools that track the performance of stocks grouped by specific investment characteristics, called factors. These factors include elements like size (small vs. large companies), value (cheaper stocks), momentum (stocks trending upward), or quality (financial health). By focusing on these traits, MSCI Factor Indexes help investors target particular investment styles or strategies. They serve as benchmarks or building blocks for constructing portfolios aimed at achieving specific risk-return profiles, offering a more nuanced approach to investing beyond broad market indexes.
