  42. Options • Let the Benchmark drive the allocation – As MSCI, et al, increase A shares so will typical portfolio • Pros • No real action required • Don’t have a mismatch to the benchmark • Cons • Means that an index provider drives typical allocation • At some point will have 41+ percent of EM in a single country (which happens to be China) • Active asset managers may not be ready to assess A shares and available companies • Can create substantial sector weight issues due to SOE’s (financials and industrials) • Manager availability a problem

  43. Options Work to a higher weight to China now Pros Takes advantage of future increase in typical allocations Takes advantage of growth opportunity More aligned with China’s global contribution Cons Increases benchmark mismatch Usurps asset managers typical role May need to carve out China to do so Manager availability a problem

  44. Options • Work to a lower than index weight to China now • Pros • Maintains diversified exposure to EM’s • Protects in the face of possible escalation of difficulties • Account for high correlation with certain consumer discretionary stocks (luxury brands) • Cons • Usurps asset managers typical role • May need to carve out China to do so • Increases benchmark mismatch
