MSCI's decision on inclusion of China A shares in their indexes

Today's the day:

we believe that MSCI may be under pressure to add the onshore markets to their indexes because some competing index providers have already done so ahead of them. MSCI is a global leader in international indexing, the firm’s indexes are tracked by some of largest funds and financial institutions in the world. As of June 2015, some competing index providers have already moved to include the onshore markets in their funds. In order for MSCI to maintain its role as a leader in international indexing, we believe it may finally include A shares this year. MSCI estimates that there are $10.5 trillion in both passive and active fund assets that track various global MSCI indexes. The inclusion of the onshore markets will impact the All Country World Index (ACWI), Emerging Market Index (EM), the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index, and other Asia specific MSCI indexes, which have a combined AUM of $4.5 trillion.
KraneShares will be holding a live webinar @11AM EST to review the results of MSCI’s announcement and discuss its impact on the onshore Chinese markets.
