FTSE Russell creates dual China index

GLOBAL index provider FTSE Russell yesterday announced the creation of a new index that combines the FTSE China A and H 50 Index.

The index is the first from FTSE Russell to represent the largest firms listed on both the Chinese mainland (A shares) and/or Hong Kong (H shares). It has been licensed by Deutsche Bank for exchange-traded funds listed on the London Stock Exchange and Deutsche Boerse AG.

The FTSE China A-H 50 Index consists of A shares and H shares, but only one share class will be selected to represent each company. The selection process will take place at each quarterly review.

For firms with only A shares, they will be selected for index inclusion. For those with both A and H shares, the share class with the lower price will be selected for inclusion.

“FTSE Russell has a long track record of working in China, and is the most active benchmark provider supporting international investment in the region,” said Mark Makepeace, its chief executive.

“The FTSE China A-H 50 Index reflects our desire to create new index solutions for the region, as we look to support the diverse range of investment needs,” he said.
