About MLNSX
Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. Global Concentrated Portfolio Class R6 is an actively managed mutual fund designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in a focused selection of both U.S. and international companies. The fund adopts a concentrated approach, typically holding around 21 stocks, and employs a combination of top-down and bottom-up analysis to identify companies with strong growth potential, attractive valuations, and resilient competitive positions. Class R6 shares are tailored for institutional investors, such as large employer-sponsored retirement plans, and require a substantial minimum initial investment.
The portfolio is diversified across major sectors, with notable allocations to financials, information technology, communication services, and consumer-related industries, reflecting its global outlook and emphasis on quality businesses. The fund’s strategy favors high active share—meaning its holdings diverge significantly from standard benchmarks like the MSCI World Index—enabling it to capitalize on unique investment opportunities. The fund distributes dividends annually and seeks to manage risk through disciplined stock selection and portfolio construction, offering investors exposure to global equity markets with a concentrated, high-conviction mandate.
