The odds of China's A-shares being placed in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index are somewhere between zero percent and 75%, depending on who you ask. MSCI will decide in June whether to include the mainland China A-shares in one of its biggest, most traded indexes. Two years ago, Chinese investors tried to get ahead of the game by investing heavily in Shenzhen listed stocks. The Deutsche X-Trackers China A-Shares (ASHR) ETF is down 51.8% since that peak on June 12, 2015. That fund is up 60.5% over the last five years, beating the MSCI China (MCHI).
