MSCI Inc. held off from adding China’s mainland stocks to its benchmark indexes, opting to work with the nation’s securities regulator to overcome remaining obstacles such as investor quotas and ease of access.
The index provider expects to put yuan-denominated equities, also called A shares, in its global benchmarks only after settling the issues through collaboration with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, according to a statement issued Tuesday. MSCI said a decision may come at any time.
