FYI: With China comprising 30% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and soon to take up 40% once all the mainland Chinese stocks are added (known as A-shares), the Asian nation will dominate the index.
Since some of the biggest emerging market exchange-traded funds—like the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG), with $46.7 billion in assets under management (AUM), and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM), with $31 billion in in AUM—follow the MSCI index, that can significantly tilt portfolios toward China (Figure 1).
