“The MSCI China A 50 Connect Index is designed to capture 50 of the largest and most representative China A shares with sector balance. Since its launch in August 2021, we have seen more investors utilizing this innovative index tool to help build core exposure to and manage the risk of the China A market,” said Dr. Zhen Wei, Managing Director of APAC Index Solutions Research at MSCI.

The first batch of the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index derivative warrants has strike prices ranging from 1800 points to 3000 points, providing approximately 4.5 to 6.3 times effective gearing^#. The products will track the price movements of the MSCI China A 50 Connect Index futures.
