[SCHEDULE 13G/A] MORGAN STANLEY CHINA A SHARE FUND, INC SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC has filed Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13G reporting its beneficial ownership in Morgan Stanley China A Share Fund, Inc. (CAF) as of 30 June 2025.

• Shares held: 2,019,127 mutual-fund common shares
• Ownership percentage: 11.9 % of the outstanding class
• Voting power: Sole voting power over 2,008,401 shares; no shared voting power
• Dispositive power: Sole dispositive power over all 2,019,127 shares; no shared dispositive power
• Filing capacity: Parent holding company / control person under Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(G)
• Certification: The position was acquired and is held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing control of the issuer.
• Subsidiaries involved: Allspring Global Investments, LLC and Allspring Funds Management, LLC (both registered investment advisers)

The disclosure signifies that a sizeable institutional manager now controls nearly one-eighth of CAF’s float. Because the Schedule 13G is a passive filing, Allspring affirms it does not intend to exert control or participate in activist activities. The ownership is held on behalf of underlying advisory clients, none of which individually owns more than 5 % of the class.

Positive

• Institutional ownership clarity: Filing reveals Allspring controls 11.9 % of CAF, signalling sizeable professional investor confidence.
• Sole voting & dispositive power: Allspring retains full authority over the position, reducing ambiguity about future vote allocation.

Negative

• No activist intent stated: Certification confirms passive holding, limiting potential governance or strategic catalysts for other shareholders.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Allspring passively reports 11.9 % CAF stake—adds institutional support but no control intent; impact modest, largely informational.

Allspring’s 2.0 million-share position confirms material institutional interest in CAF, a closed-end fund focused on mainland-listed Chinese A-shares. The filing lifts known concentrated ownership above the 5 % threshold, boosting transparency for the investor base and potentially enhancing liquidity perception. However, the Schedule 13G format and accompanying certification limit expectations of governance activism or strategic change. Given that shares are held across multiple advisory accounts, forced selling pressure is unlikely absent client redemptions. Overall, the disclosure is noteworthy but not transformative for CAF’s fundamental outlook.
