China is opening its doors to foreign investors. MSCI has just added China A-shares to its global suite of equity benchmarks for the first time, and onshore Chinese bonds are making their debut in well-known bond bogies. While the near-term impact of these changes will be negligible for many investors, they are the first small steps in what will likely be a long journey toward greater participation in global capital markets by the world’s second-largest economy. I expect the long-term invest­ment implications will be meaningful.

This issue features a pair of articles authored by my colleague Jackie Choy, CFA. Jackie is Morningstar’s director of ETF research in Asia. He is based in Hong Kong and has been monitoring these developments closely for years. In this month’s cover article, he provides us with a look at how the Chinese equity market has evolved through the decades and shares his thoughts on how it will continue to change in the future.

Also in this issue:

• Jackie looks discusses the implications of the inclusion of renminbi-denominated bonds to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index.
• I look at the menu of Chinese equity ETFs.
• I share an updated list of my favorite free investing tools.
• Daniel Sotiroff profiles iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF IEMG, which carries a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Bronze.
• Daniel also shares his analysis of Neutral-rated Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company ETF FNDE.
• In this month's Sector Snapshot, I share our equity analysts’ take on the news that moved markets in June.
