MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading provider of investment
decision support tools worldwide, has announced that the National
Federation of Mutual Aid Associations for Municipal Personnel, one
of the largest public pension plans in Japan with over JPY 8
trillion in AUM*, has selected the MSCI Japan ESG Index as the
benchmark for a passive mandate. A range of 7-17% of the total AUM
is targeted for investment in domestic equities, and part of this
allocation will be used for the ESG mandate.
“We have chosen the MSCI Japan ESG Index for its global and
sector-specific ESG research and analysis, and also because it
closely tracks our current benchmark for our Japanese equity fund,”
explained Mr Okada, General Fund Manager of the National Federation
of Mutual Aid Associations for Municipal Personnel. “Companies with
an ESG focus tend to have lower business operational risks and can
contribute to the overall long-term and sustainable development of
both the economy and our society. Hence, investing in ESG-compliant
companies is also consistent with our own public role.”
The National Federation of Mutual Aid Associations for Municipal
Personnel has already issued an RFP for the mandate. Managers must
be a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN
PRI), the first time this has been required by a public pension
fund in Japan.
“This is a significant milestone for both MSCI and for the
continued adoption of ESG investing in Japan,” said Toshiaki
Matsumae, Executive Director at MSCI. “We are delighted that the
National Federation of Mutual Aid Associations for Municipal
Personnel chose the MSCI Japan ESG Index as the benchmark for this
mandate. The index is based on ESG research which assesses
companies’ relative ESG risk among global industries. We believe
that this global view, along with the transparent ESG index
methodology, was a key factor in selecting MSCI.”
