But today, things got a little rougher. Morgan Stanley said its going to unload half its position in MSCI.
No doubt, with the credit crunch, there has been a flurry of asset sales. And MSCI is a solid asset, which includes a broad portfolio of financial data products like indices (more than 100,000) and major brands such as Barra.
What's more, MSCI reported its Q2 results today. Operating revenues spiked 21.9% to $108.2 million and adjusted EBITDA was up 43.4% to $48 million (yes, this is a high-margin business).
