MSR Indices is a comprehensive platform of low cost investable index strategies.  Investors can use these strategies individually for research and investment purposes, or investors can combine these strategies to custom build an unlimited number of exposures and portfolios across the Equity, Fixed Income, Currency, and Commodity markets. The platform's primary purpose is to assist investors in improving the efficiency of their own portfolios while simultaneously providing a means to implement their objectives by investing in an MSR Index or creating a custom index. MSR Analytics, an analytics program that incorporates MSR index data and the BarclayHedge Database, enables investors to perform and download analysis on both MSR index data and BarclayHedge manager returns.

MSR’s indices are representative of known trading styles which are ubiquitous in the market place. At their core, the indices have one or a combination of three fundamental components which drive the return generating process and are the backbone of the MSR Index Platform.  These trading styles are: 1) Long Only; 2) Trend Following; and 3) Reversal.  Additionally, the platform incorporates a target volatility feature that enables investors to select the amount of risk they want to target on either an individual index level or on a portfolio level.  

Transparency and consistency are fundamental goals of the MSR Index platform. With regards to transparency, MSR provides daily trade, position, and P&L data for each index by market.  In terms of consistency, MSR uses the identical algorithm for each trading strategy regardless of the time period or market to which it is applied.

In short, the MSR Index Platform brings low-cost, transparent, liquid, investable index strategies together with a robust research platform to enable investors to more efficiently build and implement their investment portfolios.  The software is free, so get started today at www.msrindices.com.
