Index provider MSCI said it would quadruple the representation of mainland Chinese companies in its benchmarks
SHANGHAI—MSCI Inc. said it would more than quadruple the weighting of mainland Chinese companies in its closely followed stock indexes, a move that will make shares in Shanghai and Shenzhen much more important to global investors.
While many asset managers own stakes in Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong or New York, such as Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. or PetroChina Co., global investors have far less exposure to stocks listed on the mainland.
