What is an Index provider?
Index providers are companies that design and calculate indexes. They have the responsibility to set the rules that decide what securities to include in each index, how the index will be managed and how securities will be added or removed from that index over time.
In this process they also usually determine how stocks can be classified, e.g. is a particular stock a Healthcare or an Oil & Gas stock, or is it a Developed or Emerging market stock.

Index providers license (sell) the rights to use their designs and calculations to ETF issuers who then copy the index as closely as they can to create a passive ETF.
Examples of Index Providers:
- MSCI
- Standard & Poors
- FTSE Russell
- Solactive
