Get Your “A” Game On – KraneShares and MSCI Discuss the Future of Investing in Mainland China
Tuesday, February 15, 2022
10:00 am - 11:00 am EST

With the recent loan prime rate cut and further reserve requirement ratio cuts on the horizon, China is entering a period of easing just as rates rise in the United States. As China equities appear attractive from a policy standpoint, mainland and international investors are increasingly on the same page regarding which subset of China A-shares they prefer.

Since October 2021, foreign investors can now hedge their A-shares exposures for the first time thanks to futures contracts launched by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange based on the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index. A disproportionate percentage of the $67 billion of net buying from foreign investors through the Stock Connect program in 2021¹ focused on the largest, most liquid stocks², the same segment the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index tracks.

The index is just as popular with domestic Chinese investors. Since October, three ETFs launched in the mainland that track the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index have attracted over $4.5 billion assets under management.³

Join KraneShares Chief Investment Officer, Brendan Ahern, Head of International, Dr. Xiaolin Chen, and MSCI Vice President Shou Xu as they discuss:

• China easing and its impact on A-shares
• The future of China A-share investing
• The MSCI China A 50 Connect Index
• How KraneShares tracks the evolution of the A-share market with KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A 50 Connect Index ETF (ticker: KBA).
