Morningstar Rebrands CRSP Indexes, Solidifying Position with $3 Trillion in Benchmarked Assets
summarizeSummary
Morningstar has announced the rebranding of the CRSP Market Indexes to Morningstar Indexes, marking a significant milestone in its previously completed acquisition of the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP). These indexes are highly influential, benchmarking over $3 trillion in assets under management, including popular Vanguard funds. This rebrand solidifies Morningstar's position as a leading index provider, expanding its brand presence over a substantial asset base, now totaling over $4.2 trillion in assets linked to Morningstar benchmarks. The move enhances Morningstar's competitive standing against legacy index providers and is a material step in realizing the strategic value of the CRSP acquisition, which was completed in February 2026. The name changes are expected to become effective in late July, with no disruption to clients or methodology.
