What Does a Barclays/MSCI Courtship Bode for the Industry?


Reuters broke news earlier this week that Barclays executives a mulling a sale of its index business after MSCI expressed interest in the unit.

Now, IndexUniverse is delving further into the deal rumor, including possible drivers to the situation. For example, according to the publication, new regulations that have emerged in response to last year's Libor scandal could make things dicey for developers of fixed-income benchmarks. Such regulations, the publication notes, will increase scrutiny on the independence of pricing.
