Global funds train sights on A shares

BEIJING - With the inclusion of China's A shares on a key global index, more foreign investors are expected to increase exposure to China's capital market and share its growth dividends.

Global index compiler MSCI included 226 China large-cap A shares on its MSCI Emerging Markets Index at the close of trading on May 31.

However, on June 1, more than 200 of those stocks declined as investors felt the MSCI inclusion has a limited short-term impact on A shares.
