- Designed for investors with
QFII/RQFII quotas
- Can be combined with existing MSCI
ACWI/MSCI Emerging Markets Indexes
- Expand MSCI’s family of indexes for
China equity markets
MSCI Inc. (NYSE:MSCI), a leading provider of investment decision
support tools worldwide, launched two new indexes today for the
China equity market – the MSCI China A International Index and the
MSCI China All Shares Index. Both indexes are designed for
international investors with QFII/RQFII quotas and can be used as
benchmarks or as the basis of index-linked products.
The two standalone indexes reflect the full inclusion scenario
outlined in the ‘Index Inclusion Roadmap for China A-Shares in the
MSCI Emerging Markets Index’ consultation proposal, launched
earlier this year as part of MSCI’s Annual Market Classification
Review.
The 2014 MSCI Annual Market Classification Review concluded
that, based on feedback from international investors, China
A-shares should not be included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index
due to current investability constraints linked to the QFII/RQFII
quota systems. However, many of those investors, especially those
with QFII or RQFII quotas, wish to invest in China A-shares or to
be benchmarked to a universe that includes this market segment.
“With the launch of these two new indexes, international
investors who include or wish to include China A-shares in their
current equity allocation now have appropriate benchmarks they can
use within a consistent asset allocation framework,” said Alain
Dubois, Managing Director and Head of New Business and Product
Development for the Index business at MSCI.
The two new indexes expand MSCI’s existing family of indexes for
the China equity market, providing an even more comprehensive range
of index tools for both domestic and international investors.

The MSCI China A International Index, which currently contains
221 securities1, represents the A-share component of the MSCI China
All Shares Index2, which combines A, B and H Shares with Red and P
Chips. Both indexes are built from an international investor’s
perspective using the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes
Methodology - the same methodology applied to all MSCI
international equity indexes. In addition, the standalone MSCI
China A International Index can be combined with the MSCI ACWI
Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index to provide an
approximation of the investment opportunity set if China A-shares
were to be fully included in the MSCI Global Equity Indexes.

the MSCI China All Shares Index can be found on our website.

security free-float adjusted market capitalization in deriving
their final weight in the index.
