In this episode of Voices of the IIA , Morningstar Indexes President Amelia Furr joins Index Industry Association CEO Kirsten Wegner to discuss her new leadership role and the strategic impact of Morningstar’s recent acquisition of CRSP. Furr explains how indexes have evolved beyond simple passive investment vehicles to become essential “lenses” that provide transparency and deep research insights for both public and private markets. The conversation specifically highlights the industry’s innovation around both private equity and credit, where new benchmarks are helping investors navigate previously opaque asset classes. It’s a compelling look at how cutting-edge technology and data are driving the next wave of innovation in the global indexing community.
