Fortis Healthcare has been included in the MSCI Global Standard Indexes (Morgan Stanley Capital International Global Standard Indexes) as part of the latest quarterly review. This makes Fortis the only Indian healthcare company to receive a new entry in this update. The change will take effect later this month.
The addition of Fortis to this influential global benchmark is expected to draw fresh passive investments from international funds that track MSCI indexes. Such inclusions typically enhance a company’s visibility among global investors and improve overall trading liquidity. As index-linked funds rebalance their portfolios, Fortis is likely to see strengthened participation from foreign institutional investors.
What Are the MSCI Global Standard Indexes and Why Do They Matter?
The MSCI Global Standard Indexes, developed by Morgan Stanley Capital International, are widely used by global asset managers for portfolio construction and performance benchmarking. These indexes cover large and mid-sized companies from major global markets and play a significant role in guiding capital allocation across regions and sectors.
For a company like Fortis Healthcare, inclusion in these indexes signals strong market credibility, aligns it with global healthcare peers, and broadens its access to international capital. It also reflects the growing recognition of India’s private healthcare sector in global equity markets.
