China Tech Indexes
Capture the growth potential of China’s new economy
China tech indexes intro copy
China is shifting to a technology-driven ‘new economy’. It’s transforming from an export-oriented and fixed-asset investment dependent “old economy” to domestic consumption and technology focused innovation, reinventing itself as a predominantly services-oriented economy. A digital transformation is underpinning this structural change.
China is now a global leader in electric vehicle manufacture, with the largest market in Industrial Robots1 and with over 850 million active internet and smart phone users, it is the largest e-commerce market in the world2.
Investors need innovative solutions that are unconstrained by traditional industry classifications in today’s evolving market.
MSCI has created a set of China Tech Indexes, which offer investors access to the full China Tech growth story.

Broad based
Our indexes start from the comprehensive & integrated China equity universe and enables you to capture a broad range of Tech-based companies across the investment universe. These indexes are based on a company’s revenue exposure to key technology related themes.
Sector agnostic
Our indexes use a sector-agnostic approach and we select stocks independent of company's industry/sector classification. It relies on precise estimation of company's exposure to Tech through a bottom-up process. For example, companies such as Alibaba, the e-commerce provider, and Ganfeng Lithium, a leader in new energy materials, are both included in our index.
Rules-based methodology
Companies are identified by a clear rules-based approach that is free from the constraints associated with targeting only traditional technology sectors. They enable you to capture broad exposure to the performance of companies across multiple sectors and themes, including Internet, Mobility, Digital Health and Automation and Robotics.
Professional Expertise
We seek input from tech expert on the ongoing evolution of the theme underlying the tech index. The expert inputs help ensure the indexes remain relevant as themes evolve.
In short, our China Tech Indexes enable investors to gain exposure to the performance of companies at the forefront of China’s technology-driven transformation. Our scalable, differentiated, multi-sector approach provides Investors with the tools to make better investment decisions.
