Center for Research in Security Prices, LLC (CRSP) is a Chicago, Illinois-based financial services provider with a long history rooted in academic finance, founded at the University of Chicago more than six decades ago. The organization built the first market database that allowed investors to measure historic returns on U.S. stocks and subsequently developed investable indexes that have been adopted by managers of large mutual funds. CRSP delivers market data and benchmark products to a professional audience that relies on rigorous historical analysis to assess performance and inform investment decisions. In February 2026, CRSP was acquired by Morningstar, bringing its Market Indexes—benchmarks for over $3 trillion in U.S. equities—into the Morningstar Indexes family and integrating CRSP’s research data products to expand equity research capabilities. The combined offering strengthens access to trusted market insight and supports transparent, data-driven investment analysis. CRSP’s work remains focused on producing high-quality data and indices for investors, researchers, and other market participants.
