"You can't prompt-engineer your way into creating the MSCI World Index." Karim Rahemtulla, Co-Founder, Monument Traders Alliance The AI panic sell-off just wiped out $2 trillion in software market cap. MSCI was caught in the crossfire because investors are conflating it with Salesforce and Palantir. That's like saying McDonald's and a farm are the same business because they both involve food. The "SaaS-pocalypse" started on February 3rd when Anthropic announced a legal AI plugin that could handle contract reviews and data analysis. Suddenly, everyone's panicking that AI will replace all software. The carnage was brutal: Microsoft down 16%, Shopify 26%, Adobe 27%, Salesforce 30%. Fair enough for pure SaaS plays. But MSCI isn't selling software that can be replaced by ChatGPT. MSCI sells financial data infrastructure. Indices, ESG ratings, risk analytics - the stuff that asset managers need to benchmark against and make decisions. You can't prompt-engineer your way into creating the MSCI World Index. The Market's Making the Wrong Comparison The market's treating these three like they're the same company: Salesforce (CRM): Down 30%. Makes sense - AI could automate sales processes and CRM tools Palantir (PLTR): Trading at 165x P/E. Built on AI hype, dies by AI fear MSCI: Down 13% from its Feb highs. But they're a data company with subscription revenue tied to assets under management MSCI uses AI to enhance its analytics, but its moat isn't the AI - it's the proprietary datasets and methodologies that took decades to build. Good luck getting an LLM to replicate regulatory-compliant ESG scores or create globally accepted market indices. And if you don't believe me, all you have to do is look at the scoreboard. CEO Henry Fernandez just dropped $3.56 million buying shares at $517-$524. SPONSORED Rickards: ‘I’m updating my recent prediction’ When I first released my "American Birthright" prediction... I thought this $150 trillion mineral boom would unfold slowly. But I was dead wrong... Now the timeline – your chance to make historic wealth through mining investments – has been expedited. And Phase II of Trump’s mineral boom is set to begin in a matter of days. Watch my briefing here. But here's the real conviction signal: his total stake is worth $775 million. Over the last 12 months alone, he bought 30,200 shares for $20 million at an average of $546. That's not hedging or token purchases. That's a CEO betting the farm on his own company during the AI panic. Your Action Plan I'm not chasing MSCI here. But at these levels, with massive insider conviction and a business model that shouldn't be grouped with disruptive software plays, it's worth tracking. The setup: A quality data infrastructure company is punished for guilt by association with the $2 trillion software bloodbath. The catalyst: The market recognizes that MSCI's business model is more resilient to AI disruption than pure software plays. When the SaaS-pocalypse panic subsides - and it will - money will flow back into quality names that got unfairly beaten down. MSCI could be one of those rebounds. If I do decide to make a play on MSCI, it will be in The War Room. If you'd like to learn more about what we do in The War Room, watch this. SPONSORED March's Best Stock Play?
