MSCI has announced the expansion of its range of emerging market tools and solutions for investors with the launch of the MSCI Brazil Property Index.
The new index is designed to bring transparency and consistent measurement to the Brazil property market, tracking the performance of 91 property investments with history dating back to December 2018. Based on the MSCI Global Methodology Standards for Real Estate Investment, the index is in line with MSCI’s wider MSCI Real Estate Property Indexes.
