MSCI to add 8 securities to China Index

Eight Chinese securities will be added to the MSCI China Index, and 20 Chinese securities will be deleted, according to MSCI Inc, a global leading provider of key tools and services for global investors.

The eight Chinese securities are J&T Global Express B, Bestechnic A (HK-C), CCOOP Group A (HK-C), CSI Solar A (HK-C), Jiangsu Hoperun A (HK-C), Nexchip Semiconductor A (HK-C), Sichuan Changhong A (HK-C), and Yonghui Superstores A (HK-C).

As the MSCI China Index is nested within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, inclusion of a stock in the MSCI China Index implies its entry into the MSCI Global Standard Index series, thereby attracting a substantial amount of passive fund tracking, said ThePaper on Wednesday.

Moreover, the MSCI China-A Onshore Index Series will add seven Chinese securities, namely Beijing Compass Tech A, Bestechnic (Shanghai) A, CSI Solar Co A, Hunan Yuneng New Ener A, Jiangsu Hoperun A, Qilu Bank Co A, and Shenzhen Megmeet Elect A.

The MSCI Inc announced a series of changes in its February 2025 Index Review for the MSCI Equity Indexes on Tuesday, which will take place on Feb 28.
