China's A-Shares Prepare To Flood Your ETFs

FYI: (Click On Article title At Top Of Google Search)
This week could be a momentous one for index geeks. A ruling on how China’s mainland stocks are classified would affect $1.5 trillion tied to emerging-market indexes operated by MSCI—and, ultimately, the exchange-traded funds based on those benchmarks.

At issue is whether MSCI deems China’s A-shares—stocks listed on exchanges in Shanghai or Shenzhen—as “emerging” instead of their current status as unaffiliated “stand-alone” players. MSCI has formally insisted since 2013 that improvements in China related to market accessibility could lead to a change in the designation.

    Vanguard has been talking about this on their emerging market index fund and respective ETF.

    Not sure if that is a good thing.

    Another reason to perhaps consider a good, active manager in this space. The volatility of these stocks means it could result in even more feast-or-famine moments for EM index buyers.
