MSCI Says Emerging Market Index Does Not Include A Shares Temporarily.

< p > Beijing morning on June 11th morning, market data provider MSCI announced on Tuesday that as part of the conclusions of the 2014 annual market classification assessment, the "a" href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" A share "/a", which is only traded in China, will not be included in the MSIC emerging market index, but will continue to be retained in the assessment list, waiting for the 2015 annual market classification assessment. < /p >
The decision of < p > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > MSCI < /a "is made according to the feedback from the industry, highlighting the institutional investors' concerns about the restrictions on foreign investors' ability to invest in China's A shares under the qualified foreign institutional investor project (QFII) and the RMB qualified foreign investors project (RQFII). < /p >
< p > MSCI put forward a roadmap to include China A shares in MSCI China and MSCI emerging market index in March 2014, and sought industry advice. In a statement on Tuesday, the company pointed out that, taking into account the huge scale of China's A share market, further regulatory reforms, including the implementation of the Shanghai and a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > Hongkong stock exchange /a interconnection project, are expected to change in the short term. < /p >
< p > MSCI also announced that in order to provide more tools for international investors to invest in China's A share market, the company will launch the MSCI China A share international index in June 27, 2014, and will use the MSCI global investment market index to build this independent index. The index and related regional and global composite index will be used as a benchmark index for those global investors who have investment quotas in qualified foreign institutional investor projects and RMB qualified foreign investor projects, so as to supplement a series of MSCI China A stock indices that have been widely adopted. < /p >
"Many international investors have invested in the A share market in China, and the scale of investment quotas based on qualified foreign investor projects has also increased significantly over the past two years," said Remy Briand, director of index research at P MSCI. He said, "the A share market has been effectively opened, and the role of MSCI will be reflected in the index while increasing opportunities." < /p >
< p > Remy Brian stressed: "the results of this consultation feedback show that they generally support the Chinese A share market in the index over time, but there are still too many restrictions on the current quota, which is not enough to bring the A share market into the mainstream index immediately. We will continue to retain China's A shares in the review list, consider incorporating them into emerging market indices, and closely monitor the development of multiple projects, including Shanghai and Hongkong stock exchanges, as they are implemented and used by investors. " < /p >
< p > MSCI also said that according to the 2014 market classification assessment, the Korean and Taiwan stock markets will be upgraded to developed markets and the emerging market index will be excluded. < /p >
