The quarterly rebalancing of the WISE Secondary Cell Index is this Friday. So, rebalancing trading takes place this Thursday at the close.
The TIGER ETF (305540) is the only ETF that tracks this index. However, the recent AUM has risen sharply, and as of yesterday's closing price, the AUM is approaching KRW 1 trillion.
There is no add (or delete) in this rebalancing that will cause a substantial passive impact like SKIET in the previous rebalancing.
But the AUM is massive, so the level of stock price fluctuations potentially resulting from index weight changes is expected to be large enough to deserve our attention.
