We started to analyse Chinese stocks back in 2004 when Chinese ADRs were in their infancy. We have followed Chinese IPOs in the U.S., in Hong Kong, and most recently in Shanghai. We have seen the Chinese banking sector go public and ICBC to become the largest financial institution in the world. We witnessed another record set by a Chinese equity, Petrochina in Shanghai, to grow in market cap to over $1 trillion. We’ve been following China Mobile growing to become the largest mobile carrier in the world. And the we’ve seen the 2008 crash, the Shanghai Composite to tumble from 6000 to under 2000.

So we’re not new on the block. This is evidenced by surfing through our extensive News library kept updated since 2004. We captured every significant event ever since and now you can go back on time and look up events, stocks, big market days and many more.

If you are a westerner, you are not allowed to participate in Shanghai. That stock market is closed to foreigners, only selected number of investment banks are allowed to trade there. Shanghai is home to over 800 companies but those listed there are reporting in accordance to Chinese accounting standards, something that makes western investors cautious. Shares of Chinese companies listed in Shanghai are called A-shares. The market is very liquid with a total market capitalization of over $2.3 trillion as of today. The main index of the market is The Shanghai Composite Index (SHA:000001), a market cap weighted index of 865 companies.

The second market that comes to play is Hong Kong. This former colony is open to western investors, making it a favorite place for western bound Chinese companies. Hong Kong regulators require much stringent financial discipline from companies that want to list in there. This in turn raises the quality of stocks trading in Hong Kong. Shares of Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong are called H-shares. Their performance is tracked by the H-shares Index or ^HSCE. The most commonly used index of Hong Kong is called the Hang Seng Index (HANGSENGINDEX:.HSI). The index is market cap weighted and has 44 members.

The third market that comes to play is in New York where numerous Chinese companies are listed. The NYSE is the host for the largest cap Chinese blue chip companies.The market is not as liquid for Chinese companies as it is in Hong Kong or Shanghai, but given the difficult to trade in Hong Kong and Shanghai, New York commences an important place for western investors. Foreign companies, such as Chinese, are not allowed to trade in New York but certain banks act as depositors, issuing certificates or receipts. These are called American Depository Receipts or ADRs. For instance, 100 Petrochina A-shares equal to one Petrochina ADR and these ADRs are actively traded on the NYSE.
