China's first RMB Qualified 1 Foreign Institutional Investor 2 or RQFII exchange traded fund was launched at the London Stock Exchange on Thursday. Just how important is its launch for European investors 3 to access China's domestic market.

Investors across Europe are now able to invest into China's A share market, through the first RQFII exchange traded fund. The ETF for Renminbi qualified foreign institutional investors was jointly 4 launched by Chinese asset management firm CSOP and London-based company Source on Thursday. The fund will track 50 best performing companies in the Chinese mainland.

"So the allocation for the RQFII scheme is 80 billion RMB. So this one is the, after Hong Kong and Singapore, definitely the first city of the Europe grant for this RQFII scheme quota 5. So Europe became, London is the first one," Jessie Pak, Managing Director for Asia of Financial Times & Stock Exchange, says.

The 80 billion yuan Pak mentioned was the initial yuan investment quota China agreed to grant to the UK back in October 2013. The launch of the ETF is seen to strengthen London's position as a centre for offshore 6 RMB transaction.

CSOP has a 30 billion yuan, or 5 billion USD worth of RQFII quota. The new EFT will be traded in dollars and pounds, but settled in yuan. The fund has already received subscriptions 8 totalling 230 million US dollars.
