April 4 (Bloomberg) -- Nasdaq Stock Market Inc., the world's largest all-electronic exchange, will introduce an index tracking Chinese companies traded in the U.S. as part of an effort to lure more international listings.
The Nasdaq China Index will initially comprise 30 companies listed on any U.S. exchange, including China Mobile Ltd. and Baidu.com Inc., Steven Bloom, Nasdaq's senior vice president of financial products, said in an interview.
Chief Executive Officer Robert Greifeld traveled to China earlier this week to persuade more Chinese companies to offer shares on Nasdaq. The exchange last year signed two agreements with Chinese provinces to help companies in those regions list in the U.S. Nasdaq had 38 companies from China on its exchange with a market value of about $30 billion as of last month.
``China's a very important market for Nasdaq today, and we're already significantly ahead of last year's pace in Chinese companies coming to our exchange,'' Chief Executive Officer Robert Greifeld said at a press briefing during his visit to Beijing this week. ``Nasdaq's the aspirational home for many Chinese entrepreneurs.''
The new benchmark will compete with a series of indexes disseminated by FTSE/Xinhua Index Ltd., including the China 25 Index that's used as a basis for an exchange-traded fund with $4.7 billion in assets.
New Indexes
The China index follows the creation of the exchange's Israel benchmark in November. In the past year, Nasdaq has expanded its ability to calculate indexes that include any U.S. stock as it seeks to develop benchmarks that may be used to create exchange-traded funds or licensed for futures and options contracts.
``We are confident that the index will further enhance the visibility of the companies listing from China among U.S. and international investors,'' Charlotte Crosswell, president of Nasdaq International, said in a statement.
The exchange's revenue from financial products rose 20 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier to $11.2 million, primarily from fees tied to the Nasdaq-100 Index.
``As crowded as the index space is today, it's still a growth segment,'' Bloom said in an interview. ``Indexes can give an investor the opportunity to use capital more efficiently.''
Nasdaq will begin disseminating the index this quarter. It will include companies with headquarters in China or Hong Kong with a minimum worldwide market value of $200 million, a minimum average daily U.S. trading volume of 100,000 shares, and a minimum price of $3 per share.
