KRX K-New Deal Index Screening Period Ended: Rebalancing Changes & Passive Impacts Update

<ul>
<li>These indices use the GICS for classification. Bio and Internet are very straightforward. But qualitative judgment may be involved in Battery and Game.
</li>
<li>The passive impact of SoulBrain is estimated to be the largest, and LG Chem wouldn't be negligible either.</li>
<li>If AfreecaTV and Douzon Bizon are swapped, they will experience an impact of +2.0x ADTV and -5.0x ADTV. So they will shine the most if the swap takes place.</li>
