About this talk

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 MSCI China A 50 Connect UCITS ETF (ticker: KA50), an index-tracking, passively managed fund. 1.)
