china: The MSCI is about to increase the inclusion factor of China A Large Cap shares from 10 percent to 15 percent in its August 2019 quarterly index review, according to its previously released plan on a three-step A-share inclusion process, according to Global Times China. MSCI was scheduled to announce the results of the index review later on Wednesday. Billions of dollars in incremental overseas capital is expected to enter the Chinese mainland's A-share markets following the move by MSCI to further increase the weighting of A shares in the MSCI Indexes this month, industry analysts predicted. MSCI doubled the weight of China A-shares in its benchmark indexes in May to 10 percent. Zhang Xia, chief strategy analyst at China Merchants Securities, said in an investment strategy report that A shares' August weighting increase in the MSCI index will bring about 3.6 billion more in index-replicating passive investment capital into the A-share markets. It is set to further increase the A-share weighting to 20 percent in November.
