<p>"A huge leap forward for South Korea" is how President Moon described the New Deal initiative that the Government launched to digitalise social infrastructure and jumpstart the transition to green energy.</p>
<p>The expected spend of KRW 160 trillion (US$134.45bn) over 5 years will be financed by the Government (KRW 114.1 trillion) and from local Governments and the private sector (KRW 46 trillion) and is expected to create 1.9m jobs over the period based on the Digital New Deal and the Green New Deal that look to strengthen employment and the social safety net.</p>
<p>The KRX has created 4 new indices tracking the secondary <strong>B</strong>attery, <strong>B</strong>io, <strong>I</strong>nternet and <strong>G</strong>aming sectors that are expected to benefit from the New Deal initiative plus an additional index (BBIG) that includes the top 3 stocks from each sector. While the BBIG is an equal weighted index, the sector indices allocate 75% of the index weight equally among the top 3 stocks while the remaining 25% weight is allocated to the rest of the stocks based on free float market cap. This will create some very interesting trades <strong>if </strong>ETFs that are launched on these indices gather a lot of assets.</p>
<p>Some stocks that have been included in these indices have already started to run up in anticipation of index flows and investors will need to monitor ETF asset gathering in determining entry/exit trades on these stocks. There are existing ETFs that track these sectors so it is hard to fathom why ETFs on the new indices would gather a lot of assets especially with a skewed weighting scheme.</p>
