Key Event Details

MSCI Inc. provides research-based data, analytics, and indexes to support global investors. The firm serves asset managers, private-market sponsors, hedge funds, wealth managers, banks, insurers, and corporates.

MSCI Inc. has acquired First Street, a provider of physics-based climate risk data, for $120 million to enhance its global physical climate risk capabilities for financial decision making. The acquisition allows MSCI to integrate First Street’s data into its climate and geospatial solutions, enabling quantified assessments of physical climate risk across more than 2 billion structures worldwide. This move addresses the growing demand from investors and financial institutions for embedded physical climate risk insights to navigate accelerating climate-related hazards.

The integration of First Street’s multi-hazard models will provide clients with validated assessments of current and future physical risk exposure, asset damage, and business interruption. These models translate physical hazards into measurable financial impact estimates using proprietary data on building characteristics and infrastructure dependencies. The platform delivers these insights through visualizations and customizable analytics for individual properties, companies, and portfolios within a unified AI-enabled workflow.

First Street’s research indicates that companies have become more than 6.5 times as likely to issue profit warnings following extreme weather events in the past two decades. The acquisition is expected to help institutions meet rising regulatory and reporting requirements while supporting physical risk management and adaptation planning. Major European central banks already use MSCI data to identify climate risks across their loan books.

Richard Mattison, Head of Sustainability and Climate at MSCI, stated that the financial consequences of asset location have come into sharp focus due to geopolitical turmoil and climate hazards. He noted that the integration of First Street data will enable clients to be better informed about changing risk exposures and translate that directly into financial decision-making.

Matthew Eby, Founder and CEO at First Street, said that joining MSCI puts their property-level science in front of leading investors and turns climate risk from a disclosure exercise into a daily input for capital allocation. The transaction consideration includes a cash payment of $120 million at closing, subject to adjustments, with potential for additional cash payments in the first two years if revenue thresholds are achieved.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Following the closing, First Street’s financial results will be reported within MSCI’s Sustainability and Climate segment.
