MSCI Inc. (“MSCI” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MSCI), a leading
provider of critical decision support tools and services for the
global investment community, today announced it has entered into a
definitive agreement to acquire Real Capital Analytics (“RCA”) for
$950 million in cash.
Founded in 2000, Real Capital Analytics is a private company and
the go-to data and analytics provider of the properties,
transactions and participants that drive the commercial real estate
capital markets globally. The company has built a sterling
reputation within the commercial real estate industry for
effectively aggregating timely and reliable transaction data and
providing valuable intelligence on market pricing, capital flows
and investment trends in more than 170 countries. The most active
investors, lenders, brokers and advisors depend on RCA’s unique
insight to formulate their strategies, source new opportunities,
and execute their deals.
This acquisition will expand MSCI’s robust suite of real estate
solutions, providing the real estate industry with data, analytics
and support tools to manage investments and understand performance
and risk, including climate risk, within their portfolios. MSCI
will leverage Real Capital Analytics’ database of more than $20
trillion of commercial property transactions linked to over 200,000
investor and lender profiles, enhancing MSCI’s commercial real
estate capabilities.
Henry Fernandez, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, MSCI,
said: “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Real
Capital Analytics. The commercial real estate sector is seeing
substantial transformation driven by several factors, including
shifting consumer behaviors in work, lifestyle and travel
accelerated by the pandemic, realignment in global supply chains,
and the impact of climate change. The combined strength of MSCI’s
existing data, analytics and tools, and the addition of Real
Capital Analytics’ wealth of commercial real estate data and
analytics, creates an unparalleled level of solutions for the real
estate market. Investors will be better supported to access the
opportunities that exist within this sector at scale, informed by
industry-leading insights and the premier global database capturing
the global commercial real estate footprint.”
Robert M White, Jr., Founder and President of Real Capital
Analytics, commented: “MSCI is a natural home for Real Capital
Analytics since our primary goal has always been to bridge the
information gap between commercial real estate and other asset
classes across the financial markets. The combination of the two
firms creates a powerful team that will lead innovation and
analytics in the real estate asset class well into the future.”
In enhancing MSCI’s commercial real estate capabilities, this
acquisition also underscores the firm’s commitment to accelerating
and expanding the use of data, analytics and workflow applications
for investors in global private assets. This builds on MSCI’s
strategic partnership with Burgiss, a market-leading provider of
data, analytics and technology solutions for investors of private
capital.
The transaction is expected to be funded with existing cash on
hand and close at the end of the third quarter, or early in the
fourth quarter, of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and
customary closing conditions. Real Capital Analytics’ financial
results will be presented as part of MSCI’s All Other – Private
Assets reportable segment.
