China Securities Regulatory Commission and China International Capital Corp.

MSCI: WAITING AND HOPING The delay is certainly a setback for China financial markets, but there may be more silver lining than cloud, according to Xinhua China. China International Capital Corp. , the country leading investment bank, described the decision as being in line with market expectations and suggested that inclusion would probably come in 2016. Announcing the decision early Wednesday, MSCI said it "expects to include China A-shares" once "a few important remaining issues related to market accessibility have been resolved." MSCI identified three issues it would discuss with regulators -- quotas for large investors, capital mobility and details of beneficial ownership -- and is willing form a working group with the China Securities Regulatory Commission to address the concerns. Last month, an MSCI competitor, the FTSE Group, included China A-shares in two new transitional indexes for emerging markets, and last week the Vanguard Group, the largest U.S. provider of mutual funds, added the A-shares to its emerging-markets fund. The Shenzhen Component Index gained 1.6 percent. The A-share market was nonplused by MSCI decision and the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index ended down slightly. (news.financializer.com).
