晨星完成 CRSP 市场指数更名为 Morningstar Market Indexes

Indexes underpinning more than $3 trillion in investor assets move under the Morningstar brand, expanding visibility and supporting future growth

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment insights, today announced the completion of the rebrand of the CRSP Market Indexes to the Morningstar Market Indexes , marking an important milestone in the company's strategy to expand its global indexes business to help better serve global investors.
"We are excited to bring the highly respected CRSP Market Indexes, now with the added power of the Morningstar brand, to investors worldwide," said Amelia Furr, president of Morningstar Indexes . "These benchmarks help play an important role in the investment ecosystem and being part of Morningstar creates new opportunities to expand their reach. As demand grows for transparent, investor-focused and scalable benchmark solutions, we believe we are uniquely positioned to serve a broader set of client needs across asset management, wealth management, and capital markets and expand to serve new client use cases such as derivatives."
Built on CRSP's long-established methodology, research foundation and academic heritage and now under the Morningstar banner, the Morningstar Market Indexes currently underpin more than $3 trillion in investor assets and serve as benchmarks for a wide range of investment products, including mutual funds, ETFs, and index futures contracts.
CRSP’s rules-based methodology, which combines academic rigor with the demands of managing capital at scale, is a key differentiator. This includes an industry-leading fast-track IPO process with provisions for mega IPOs with low public float, helping ensure the indexes remain representative as much larger private companies enter the public markets. At the center of the suite is the Morningstar US Total Market Index , Morningstar’s flagship US equity benchmark that captures 100% of the US equity market and serves as the foundation for many of the industry’s most widely used investment products, including the world’s largest mutual fund.
The Morningstar Market Indexes form one of the industry's most widely tracked US benchmark families, supporting investment products from leading asset managers including Vanguard and, more recently, equity index-based futures contracts launched by CME Group . Morningstar Indexes is one of the fastest growing global index providers with the highest five-year growth rate in the industry according to Burton Taylor International Consulting’s most recent annual index industry report.
As part of the rebrand, individual index names have been updated to reflect the Morningstar brand. For example, the CRSP US Total Market Index , tracked by widely used investment products including the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSAX) and the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) is now the Morningstar US Total Market Index .
The rebrand affects naming only. Index methodologies will remain unchanged, and clients will experience no disruption in service. More information about the Morningstar Market Indexes and the related index name changes is available here .
