The 40 Biggest Chinese Stocks Being Added to the MSCI Index (Fortune)

MSCI will begin tracking some 222 mainland shares for Chinese stocks as part of its emerging markets index. These stocks are worth $3.8 trillion in combined market value, but will account for a mere 0.7% of the MSCI’s emerging market index. Already, roughly $1.6 trillion in mutual and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trade based on MSCI’s emerging markets index and this latest decision will give U.S. investors greater access to the world’s second largest economy.

The MSCI is expected to begin including these Chinese stocks in two stages starting in May 2018. Many of these stocks only trade on Chinese stock exchanges – meaning funds and ETFs tracking the MSCI indices will be the only way to gain exposure to them by American investors.
