MSCI launches new AI supply chain index to help institutions make precise bets and hedge AI risks According to Bloomberg, MSCI has launched a series of new indices around the AI supply chain, allowing institutional investors to make more refined allocations and hedging in different links such as physical and digital infrastructure, AI applications, etc., rather than making a "basket bet" on the AI sector. Jana Haines, head of MSCI indices, stated that investors are increasingly demanding precise segmentation by industry, size, market capitalization, and country. The report cites Bain&Company's calculation that by 2031, the annual revenue of related industries to support the current AI infrastructure construction needs to reach about $6 trillion, while existing and known AI applications may only contribute about $1.2 trillion. This gap provides space for Wall Street to develop more financial tools and hedging strategies around AI.
