Index providers charge about 2.4 basis points of fund assets and three of them hold most of the market
| Provider | Index revenue | Fund assets on its indices | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSCI, 2025 | USD 1,786.8m | USD 2,340.7bn in exchange traded funds | 2.41 basis points, disclosed |
| MSCI, 2024 | USD 1,596.1m | USD 1,724.7bn | 2.44 basis points |
| S&P Dow Jones Indices, 2025 | USD 1,839m, 69% operating margin | USD 4,349.6bn in exchange traded products | About 2.40 basis points, computed |
| FTSE Russell, 2025 | GBP 954m | USD 1,827bn, up 27.5% | Not computable without a verified exchange rate |
Index revenue from each group's own filings. The first provider is the only one that publishes a basis point fee; the second's figure is computed here from its asset linked fees against its own survey of assets, on a different perimeter, and the two land within one hundredth of a basis point of each other. The third's cannot be computed without an exchange rate that was not verified.
One provider discloses an average fee of 2.41 basis points on 2,341 billion dollars of exchange traded fund assets. A regulator measured the top three at just under 70 per cent of United Kingdom benchmark revenues and almost 95 per cent of equity fund assets.
