We believe the coming waves in AM & indexing will eclipse previous disruptions, transforming the industry, end to end
Our Vision
Next-generation indexing made simple
Smart & custom indexing AUMs have rocketed, yet the index creation workflow is still slow, manual, and expensive.
With MCFT Indexes and the Folio platform, we’re bringing to life a vision for the next era of indexing.
- Next-level customization that goes well beyond the limits of traditional index products.
- A powerful, no-code index builder within an all-in-one environment for design, calculation, and analytics.
- AI-powered classification and interfaces that dramatically shorten the path from idea to market.
