With China’s stable economic growth and intensified participation of qualified foreign institutional investors (QFII), the China stock market has become more active in recent years. ChinaAMC MSCI China A ETF offers a more comprehensive and direct investment option to those foreign and domestic investors for tracking A share market movement.
MSCI China A Index tracked by the ETF covers both Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets and is constructed in accordance with the methodology widely adopted by international investors, and reflects the movement of China’s equity market. The index’s 518 constituents represent approximately 65 per cent of the market capitalisation of the China stock market. The index is, therefore, the most accurate benchmark in reflecting A share market performance. MSCI China A Index offers investors a broad and diverse investment decision supporting tool to analyse the opportunity set of the A share market.
