Description

This index, the CSI A 500 (provided as a Net Total Return, USD-denominated measure), is designed to mirror the investment performance of mainland Chinese companies. It specifically tracks the top 500 largest and most actively traded A-share businesses, which are listed in Chinese Yuan (CNY) on China's two main stock exchanges: Shanghai and Shenzhen. These constituent companies offer broad coverage across all industry sectors classified by CSI. Their weighting within the index is determined by their free-float adjusted market capitalization. The index composition is systematically reviewed and updated every six months. For a more in-depth explanation of the index's construction, its selection criteria, and the precise weighting methodology, please consult the official website: https://www.csindex.cn/en.
