In late April through mid May 2018, KraneShares spent three weeks traveling across the country meeting with financial advisors, consultants and institutional investors about the June 1st inclusion of 226 Mainland listed Chinese securities (A-shares) into MSCI’s Global Standard Indexes.

We were privileged to be joined by our partners: MSCI, a leading global index provider with $13.9 trillion benchmarked assets¹, China International Capital Corporation (CICC), a leading Chinese investment bank, and Bosera Asset Management, one of the largest Chinese asset managers and the sub advisor to the KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF (NYSE: KBA).

The above video is a recording of the event we held at the New York Stock Exchange on April 24th 2018. It contains presentations by CICC Equity Strategist, Kevin Liu, MSCI Vice President of Equity Research, Abhishek Gupta, and KraneShares Chief Investment Officer, Brendan Ahern.

What is covered in the presentations:

• Current and projected state of China's economy
• Contributing factors to China's corporate revenue growth including: property, manufacturing, and old economy consolidation
• Overview of MSCI's market classification framework & the construction of the MSCI China A Inclusion Index
• How to gain exposure to China A-shares through the KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF (NYSE: KBA)

About MSCI China A-share inclusion

MSCI is the largest index provider to global ETF industry² with $1.6 trillion tracking the MSCI Emerging Markets Index³. Over the long-term China A-shares are projected to comprise 17% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index spanning multiple rebalances⁴ which could raise China’s total weight from 30% to over 40% over the next several years⁴. This could represent upward of $270 billion being reallocated to the newly included A-share securities⁴. Similar past rebalances have provided a strong catalyst for the performance of the inclusion markets.
