About MGQAX

The Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. Global Stars Portfolio Class A is a global equity mutual fund designed to seek long-term capital appreciation. Its strategy focuses on investing in high-quality, growth-oriented companies worldwide, targeting businesses with strong franchises, robust intangible assets, and the potential for sustained returns on invested capital. The portfolio is actively managed, emphasizing companies that demonstrate compelling growth opportunities, high gross margins, and experienced management teams. Notably, effective June 27, 2024, the fund transitioned from its previous focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria by eliminating its 80% ESG Policy and rebranding from the Global Sustain Portfolio to the Global Stars Portfolio. Additionally, it shifted its benchmark from the MSCI World Net Index to the broader MSCI ACWI Net Index, reflecting a wider global investment universe. Managed by Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the fund typically holds a concentrated selection of stocks, providing diversified exposure across sectors and regions to capture global growth trends.
