Investors in Japan are to be given easier access to China’s stock market after two Chinese asset managers were granted permission on Friday to list exchange traded funds on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The two providers, China Asset Management and China Southern Asset Management, will offer physical ETFs linked to the Chinese stock market as Japanese Depositary Receipts (JDRs) listed in Tokyo.
The ChinaAMC CSI 300 Index ETF-JDR will track the performance of the CSI 300 index (the 300 largest issuers on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges) while the CSOP FTSE CHINA A50 ETF will track the FTSE China A50 index (the 50 largest issuers on the two main Chinese bourses).
