Index data provider Index asset-based fee Run Rate growth measures year-over-year growth in MSCI's Index Run Rate generated from asset-based fees.

MSCI reported 25.2% asset-based fee Run Rate growth at June 30, 2026, to $948.2M from $757.3M.

Linked-product AUM is a key driver

MSCI said the increase was primarily driven by higher AUM in ETFs linked to MSCI equity indexes and non-ETF indexed funds linked to MSCI indexes.

MSCI provides the indexes; it does not manage those linked investment assets.

Fee rates also matter

Asset-based fee revenue can change with both linked-product AUM and average basis-point fees.

Read it with Index Run Rate growth and Index operating revenue growth.

Primary source: MSCI Q2 2026 Form 10-Q.

Part of the Index & Data Provider Economics

Connects MSCI Index revenue and Run Rate monetization with subscription sales and retention, plus Analytics, Sustainability & Climate, and Private Assets recurring growth.
