China’s rise in global economic influence, increased market size, improved market accessibility and inclusion into MSCI flagship indexes have led investors to consider different approaches to China allocation. Due to the complexity of China’s market landscape and investment opportunity set, however, it is no simple task. In this webinar, our panel of speakers will highlight:

  • The MSCI China A Shares inclusion journey and what’s next?
  • Why consider a dedicated China allocation program?
  • What is the role of market-cap indexes in the investment process?
  • What are the emerging trends in ESG, climate and thematic investing?

After Dr. Zhen Wei’s presentation, Mr. Edwin Fan, CFA will discuss with Dr. Zhen on some topical issues related to asset allocation. The two gentlemen will also answer questions from the participants before closing the webinar.
