Markets are becoming harder to read. Private assets are growing, but transparency gaps remain. Climate risks are becoming more measurable, yet execution challenges persist. At the same time, shifting geopolitics and capital flows are reshaping investor positioning across markets, while a new wave of megacap IPOs is raising fresh questions about market concentration and index exposure.   In the May MSCI Research Roundup, we explore what these developments may mean for investors — from private markets and climate metrics to supply-chain risk, megacap IPO dynamics and the MSCI Institute’s new Global Investment Tracker. We also highlight key insights from Zurich Climate Week, where the focus shifted from identifying climate risk to acting on it.   Explore the full edition and subscribe.

The Hormuz disruption made headlines for gas prices and shipping lanes. But the shock travelled further — disrupting fertilizer markets, where some producers were affected far more than others. The pressure wasn’t coming from direct suppliers, but hidden links several layers deep in the supply chain. In this episode of #SustainabilityNow, Gabriela de la Serna and Cole Martin, CFA explore how mapping those hidden connections can help investors identify vulnerabilities before the next shock hits.

As official reporting directives stall and policy signals become harder to read, investors are demanding the financially material data they need to price risk and return. For institutional investors across APAC, that means data consistent enough to hold up across portfolios, geographies and reporting frameworks at the same time, and indexes precise enough to anchor a specific mandate, not just a broad sustainability commitment. That is the standard we hold ourselves to. For the second year running, MSCI has been named both Best ESG Data Provider and Best ESG Index Provider at the AsianInvestor Asset Management Awards 2026. Over USD 1.2 trillion in assets benchmarked to MSCI Sustainability and Climate Equity Indexes*, growing at a 24% three-year CAGR - a reflection of the confidence institutional investors place in our data and indexes to drive sustainable investment decisions.
