MSCI China A inclusion index
MSCI China A Inclusion Index
Investors can access the Chinese equity market through several share classes, the largest being A shares – those that trade in mainland China on domestic exchanges. MSCI started to partially include China large-cap A shares in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index on May 31st, 2018. Under the current partial inclusion plan, China A shares will have a weight of 5% this year (split into two phases). In the event of full inclusion, China equities would exceed 40% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index 1
The MSCI China A Inclusion Index is designed to track the progressive partial inclusion of A shares in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over time. It currently includes large cap A Shares and in the event of further inclusion of A shares to the regional index, the newly eligible A shares will be added, reflecting those A shares compatible with Stock Connect and based on the offshore RMB exchange rate.
1 China would comprise 31.3% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index at 5% inclusion as of August 2018 (left panel), based on data used for MSCI’s May 2018 Semi-Annual Index Review. At a hypothetical 100% inclusion (which may or may not occur in the future), China would comprise 42% of the index, based on the current market capitalization. All figures are approximate.
