About China A50 Futures
FTSE China A50 Futures trade on Singapore's SGX at US$1 per index point and track the 50 largest mainland-listed Chinese A-shares. Because China's onshore futures market is restricted for foreigners, the SGX contract is the main offshore vehicle for hedging and trading A-share exposure. It trades long after the Shanghai close, making it a key overnight indicator for Chinese equities.

China A50 Index Futures — A Practical Guide
China A50 Index Futures (SGX ticker CN), traded on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), provide offshore-tradable exposure to the FTSE China A50 Index — the 50 largest mainland-China-listed A-share companies (constituents of both Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges). The contract is the primary vehicle for foreign investors to express A-share views during Asian trading hours, since direct mainland-A-share futures (CFFEX-listed) are heavily restricted for foreign participants.
CN futures trade in two sessions during the Singapore day and provide a cleaner, more-liquid alternative to the underlying A-share market for global allocators. The contract is the most-liquid offshore Chinese-equity futures.
History & contract origins
SGX FTSE China A50 Index Futures launched in September 2006 and have grown rapidly to become a key offshore Chinese-equity hedging vehicle. The contract has weathered numerous Chinese-market stress events including the 2015 A-share crash, the 2018 trade-war volatility, and the 2022 property-sector + tech crackdown.

Frequently asked questions
What is the FTSE China A50?
An index of 50 largest A-share companies from Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges by free-float market cap. Compiled by FTSE Russell. Different from MSCI China (which includes Hong Kong-listed names) or CSI 300 (mainland-managed index).
Why are offshore A50 futures popular?
Because foreign access to direct mainland-A-share futures (CFFEX-listed CSI 300, CSI 500) is heavily restricted under QFII rules. SGX China A50 provides liquid, fungible, offshore-tradeable A-share exposure.
How does A50 correlate with Hang Seng?
Daily correlation around 0.7 — strong. A50 tracks mainland-listed Chinese mega-caps; Hang Seng tracks Hong Kong-listed Chinese + Hong Kong domestic names. The two diverge when Hong-Kong-specific news (China internet regulation, etc.) drives Hang Seng without affecting mainland A-shares.
Can Indian residents trade A50 futures?
Indirectly via LRS route through a Singapore-or-Hong-Kong-based international broker with SGX access. India-domiciled offerings are not available.
