FTSE Russell今天推出一套专为中国本地投资者而设的富时中国A股自由流通指数（FTSE China A Free Indexes）**。这些指数是富时为国际投资者所设计的富时中国A股指数（FTSE China A Indexes）的中国本地版本。展望未来，富时中国A股指数最终将获纳入FTSE Russell的全球指数系列。

与富时中国A股指数相似，富时中国A股自由流通指数全面覆盖中国A股市场，是一项具代表性的基准指数，用以反映上海及深圳证券交易所包括创业板的上市股票的表现。不过，富时中国A股自由流通指数只用自由流通量来确定权重，无需考虑境外投资者持股比例限制，因此能够为中国本地投资者准确反映中国A股市场的情况。
