Among funds available for sale in Hong Kong and Singapore, only one actively-managed fund by Credit Suisse is benchmarked to the FTSE index. The fund currently has a neutral position on China companies listed in Hong Kong and New York.

Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets Ucits ETF is the passive product available that may be impacted by the inclusion. The fund returned 7.69% over the past three years.

The funds are authorised by Singapore’s MAS and for accredited investors only, according to FE Analytics.
