Typically, the NPS-financed index funds and variable insurance index funds begin to rebalance their portfolios as early as two weeks ahead of the application date. The public offering funds, mostly ETFs, concentrate on the last day, understandably minimizing the tracking error.
NPS and Insurance combined account for about 60% of the total local passive money mirroring KOSPI 200.
So, I tracked the net trade of Pension and Insurance on May 25~28 for each of the additions and deletions to gauge the remaining capacity of the passive flow impact. The KRX announced the rebalancing results on May 25, which should have been the starting point of the passive flow by Pension and Insurance.
