Research & Development

I think that everyone who is interested in the impacts of climate change in our society should join. With more companies and people realizing how serious this is, demand for products and insights will never cease to grow.

It’s exciting to combine my interest in data science with my passion for preventing climate change, working at a place where I truly believe I can make an impact.

Research Associate in Shanghai, SK expresses how MSCI’s open culture has given her visibility to collaborate across borders and with board members.

My team is amazing – I can bring in ideas, work freely and independently and I can see a clear purpose in my work, which is very important to me.

We invest in our people and give them opportunities to grow.

Watch MSCI's Xinxin Wang share insights on recent ESG and Climate trends she’s been seeing, her thoughts on MSCI’s unique work culture, and a skill she would like to develop more.

I think of my job as a storyteller. When writing research reports I use data and easy to understand charts to tell an interesting story that helps investors as well as companies make informed decisions.

One of the many great things at MSCI is having colleagues in offices around the world, to really help you understand the local flavors of ESG regulation and public policies and how they are shaping particular jurisdictions.

Before I joined MSCI, I was asset manager. So I come to understand from that what clients are looking for from corporate governance. They don't want a checkbox approach - what they're looking for is addressing governance issues and managing them well.

"As a Managing Director, which is the level I’m at now, you need to be a strategist and leader for the firm. Instead of just focusing on your own function area, you need to set the firm’s strategy and vision, so you can come up with the Next Big Thing for MSCI.”
