The latest technology news in the wealth management sector from around the world.

MSCI, the market index and investment data group, has launched a platform built on Microsoft Azure which enables global institutional investors to access content across MSCI’s services and products.

Called MSCI ONE, the new offering is a web-based system that allows users to look at investment risks and opportunities and build portfolios.

At launch, MSCI ONE will act as a “single point of access” for a dozen MSCI services, including MSCI Risk Insights, Climate Solutions (including Climate Lab), and Institutional Client-Designed Indexes with Index Insights. The platform will also host MSCI’s Developer Community and Data Explorer, launched earlier this year. Over time, MSCI ONE will incorporate many more of MSCI’s tools and solutions in a single user experience, MSCI said in a statement late last week. 

“Today’s investors must synthesize an enormous amount of data to achieve maximum value and power to their investment decisions. With MSCI ONE, they will have easy access to a wide range of MSCI tools and solutions, which can help them turn data into insight. This platform represents MSCI’s broader commitment to improving the client experience through transformational technology,” Henry Fernandez, chairman and chief executive at MSCI, said. 

MSCI ONE uses Microsoft Power BI for live dashboards, interactive reports, charts, graphs, and other visualizations, as well as Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Data Lake for providing insights and data at scale by using capabilities for data integration, data warehousing, and big data analytics, enabling a seamless and modern experience for MSCI’s clients.
