Indexed Investments and Solutions

Your Team Responsibilities

The MSCI Indexed Investments & Solutions team is part of OneMSCI coverage team with primary objective to provide clarity on the investable products (primarily ETFs & Passive Funds) linked to the MSCI Index ecosystem including insights on index construction methodologies along with detailed analysis on Global Markets. The team also develops, analyses and commercialises macro related themes by helping clients to identify suitable MSCI linked products to express their views on a portfolio level but also better understand explicit and implicit dependencies.

Further, the team is also responsible for the development of new investable strategies which are based on best practices and innovation. We deploy new data signals and analytical models for prototyping investable indexed strategies prior to production.

The appropriate candidate will be asked to primarily work with Wealth Managers, Private Banks and Asset Managers in the DACH region with main focus on promoting MSCI’s IP and ultimately provide transparency on the indexes tracked by the corresponding ETFs. The candidate will be asked to interact with CIOs, Portfolio Managers, Fund Selectors, Portfolio Construction and Quant/Research & Strategy Teams while also be covering a wide spectrum of indexes across Equity and Fixed income (E.g. Sector, Factor, Emerging Markets, Sustainable indexes) but also multi-asset class indexed strategies. Part of the role would require a strong relationship management and part of the role would be focus on developing technical expertise around MSCU’s investment capabilities and innovation. On top, the successful candidate would need to need to build solid relationships with MSCI strategic ETF partners and work with the respective Sales and Strategy teams to jointly promote MSCI linked ETFs.
