Menai to provide advice to MSCI in connection
with its development of digital asset solutions for institutional
investors
MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading provider of critical decision
support tools and services for the global investment community,
announced today its collaboration with Menai Financial Group
(“Menai”), a leading provider of institutional-grade digital asset
investment products and trading services. This strategic alliance
marks one of MSCI’s first collaborations in the digital asset
space. MSCI will aim to develop innovative tools for institutional
investors seeking to capitalize on the growth of blockchain
technology and digital assets.
The collaboration between MSCI and Menai comes at a time when
institutional investors are increasingly considering opportunities
within the digital asset class. As investor interest grows, MSCI
has recognized the demand for robust frameworks and analytical
tools to help provide insights into performance, risk and
classification within this emerging asset class.
Menai’s expertise in digital assets will support MSCI’s
development of the solutions institutional investors can leverage
to navigate this market, understand the risks and challenges, and
capitalize on emerging opportunities and developments as the
rapidly growing industry drives technological change. This
collaboration will aim to help institutional investors identify and
understand the investment universe for digital assets and the
relationship between digital assets and traditional assets.
Henry Fernandez, Chairman and CEO of MSCI, said: “Digital
assets often get conflated with cryptocurrencies, but the market is
far larger than that. Applications associated with digital assets
are transforming long-established technologies such as payment,
trading and settlement systems, among others. While investors are
eager to enter the digital asset market as it matures, there is
need for a robust suite of tools to gain reliable insight into the
space.
“We are excited to fill that gap in collaboration with Menai and
develop what is needed to power investment decisions in this
evolving space. At MSCI, we are committed to capturing market
disruptions—like digital assets—and helping our clients better
understand their exposure to related trends as they construct
portfolios with an eye towards forces shaping our future.”
Zoe Cruz, Founder and CEO of Menai Financial Group, said:
“Institutional players are keen to participate in the digital asset
markets, but have historically struggled to find the means to do so
in a way that meets the high standards of professionalism, scale,
risk management, security and rigor required by traditional
financial markets. We are thrilled to see a sophisticated,
norm-setting player like MSCI enter the digital asset space and are
honoured that they have chosen Menai as one of their partners in
this endeavour. We look forward to working together with MSCI as it
provides institutional investors with transparent, secure and
efficient solutions to help navigate the digital assets space.”
