For many investors, an ETF on the MSCI World stock index is the basis of their investment. But the recent price slide has raised doubts about the index.
Recently, many investors have been worried about the MSCI World. It had lost around 10 percent of its value from the end of July to the end of October. Its price fell from around 3,000 points to around 2,700 points over a period of three months. This was dramatic, according to many market observers – especially those who were used to the stock boom and constantly rising prices. Is an exchange-traded index fund (ETF) on the MSCI World really the right investment, or doesn’t the index also have major weaknesses in its structure – and is therefore risky? To put it briefly: Yes, he has it.
