Being a huge but emerging economy, China is a much larger part of global stockmarkets and GDP than is reflected in the main global indices. As a result, many investors are structurally underexposed to one of the fastest growing parts of the world. The inclusion of A-Shares into the main MSCI indices in May allows investors outside China to invest in Chinese equities easily for the first time, which may have consequences for this trend. The opening up of Chinese markets to foreign capital may lead to an increase in liquidity and interest in the stockmarket.
