Getting “A” Share of the Chinese Market

November 05, 2018 | David Hernandez, CFA, Director of Traditional Manager Search

2018 Investment Symposium flash talk by David Hernandez, CFA

This year, index provider MSCI began including China A-shares in the emerging markets equity index. While A-shares currently only constitute 0.8% of the benchmark, we expect that number to grow over time. In this flash talk, we will discuss what China A-shares are and how U.S. investors have traditionally accessed the Chinese market. We will review how A-shares are different from other Chinese investments, why institutional investors should take note of them and what the future may look like given their potential to impact institutional portfolios.

A summary of this flash talk can be downloaded here.
