Over the long-term A-shares are projected to comprise 17% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index spanning multiple rebalances³. This could represent upward of $270 billion being reallocated to the newly included A-share securities². Similar past rebalances have provided a strong catalyst for the performance of the inclusion markets.

At each event, KraneShares will be joined by investment professionals from MSCI, China International Capital Corporation (CICC), a leading Chinese investment banking firm, and Bosera Asset Management, one of the largest asset managers in Mainland China and subadvisor to KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A-Share ETF (NYSE: KBA).

We have seen a lot of demand for education on how investors can positon their portfolios to potentially benefit from the inclusion of China A-shares” said Jonathan Krane, CEO of KraneShares. “We are proud to partner with MSCI, CICC and Bosera to bring the China A-Share Inclusion Roadshow to investors across the United States”.
