Dubai: MSCI Barra, a provider of investment decision support tools such as indices and portfolio risk and performance analytics, announced yesterday the addition of four new indices to its MSCI Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries and Arabian Markets Indices family, which was launched in January 2006.
