Fidelity bullish on inclusion of top A shares in MSCI

An industry insider said she hopes to see more openness in China's A-share market once it is included in MSCI emerging markets index on Friday.

Lynda Zhou, portfolio manager at global asset management service provider Fidelity International, said that there should be greater access to the A-share market for overseas investors after its addition to the MSCI emerging markets index.

"It can be difficult to predict when and how the bottleneck of the current transaction mechanism will emerge. But over time, it is very likely we will see more overseas investors willing to snap up the A shares. In this sense, the A-share market should provide more gateways for them," she said.
